The sculpture depicts a human-like figure with an elongated face and body. It is carved from wood and painted in a combination of colors, predominantly muted brown. The face features simplistic details with a prominent nose, and is painted in gray, black, and red. The figure wears a stylized long coat with red accents. The arms are straight with no distinct hand details, and the legs are depicted with black and red bands near the knees. The sculpture stands in a slightly forward-leaning posture.
