The sculpture depicts a figure of a person in a pose of salute or shielding the eyes. The sculpture is made from a material that has been carved and painted to give a wooden texture. It features rich earthy tones, primarily brown, with hints of red and green on its headpiece and shawl. The figure stands upright on a square pedestal, slightly larger than life-size. The details of the hair and facial features are finely carved, and it wears a decorated headdress. The overall warmth of the colors and the intricacy of the details in the carving contribute to its lifelike presence.
