A cream ivory sculpture depicts a crouching man facing right, a large ruffled radish positioned to his left. He wears a floral-patterned robe and carries a massive sack on his back, secured by a thick, braided rope gripped in both hands. His mostly bald head features hair at the back, and his face has wide-set eyes and upturned lips. One bare foot is tucked under his body while the other extends outward.
