The sculpture features a Native American figure wearing a headdress with colorful feathers in red, yellow, and white. The figure stands with one hand raised to the forehead and the other hand on the hip. The attire includes a traditional-style dress with rainbow-like stripes. The sculpture is made of a material painted in vibrant colors, resembling wood or plaster. It is mounted on a wheeled base painted white with blue lettering advertising "CIGARS" and "TOBACCO," including specific branding details like "C. H. Hanley & Co. Industri Cigars." It replicates a classic tobacconist's figure used as a decorative advertisement in front of tobacco shops.
