The sculpture depicts a figure of a Native American man in a standing position. He is wearing a headdress adorned with large feathers, a necklace with a circular pendant, a belt with an ornate design, and a tasseled loincloth. The sculpture is predominantly reddish-brown in color. The man's right arm is bent at the elbow, his hand held up in a gesture, while his left arm is extended forward. The sculpture is set on a rectangular pedestal that elevates the figure.
