The sculpture features a Native American figure in traditional clothing, including a tunic with decorative patterns and a feathered headdress. The figure stands with a flexed arm, painted in earthy tones, standing on a rectangular pedestal with the word "Cunningham's" inscribed on it. The sculpture appears to be made of wood and is set against a plain background.
