The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a Native American man. He is adorned with a large headdress made of feathers, predominantly white and gray. His torso is muscular and bare, exposing his red skin. Around his neck are several golden-colored necklaces. The figure wears a green skirt-like garment with an orange and yellow border, fastened at the waist with a belt. His legs are covered with yellow leggings featuring similar designs. An animal hide hangs over one shoulder. The sculpture stands on a base with a carving of a lion's head. The piece is colored in vivid tones, possibly from painted wood. The sculpture stands upright with a commanding presence, looking forward with a dignified posture.
