The sculpture depicts a young male figure dressed in ancient or traditional attire with a loose-fitting garment. He is holding an object in his hand, standing barefoot on a rectangular platform. The figure appears relaxed with a neutral facial expression. The sculpture is crafted from a material resembling dark-toned bronze with a metallic sheen and areas of lighter patination on raised surfaces. The sculpture is life-sized, presenting the figure in a casual stance.
