The sculpture depicts a man standing upright. He is dressed in attire resembling a one-shoulder toga or dress with leaf-like patterns. The sculpture has hints of color, including red-brown skin, gray-white clothing, and red shoes. The man holds a small, circular object resembling a pineapple. He wears a headwear piece with a unique design. The material appears to be painted wood or a composite. The pose is upright, with one arm bent across the body and the other extended outward. The subject appears life-sized or slightly smaller.
