A dark brown sycamore fig sculpture depicts a standing figure with large, wide-set white eyes and a black hair cap. Its arms fold over a narrow chest, just above a frayed fabric strip wrapped around the waist. Vertical cracks and visible wood grain run down the body to the joined legs. Standing on a blocky base, the weathered, painted surface gives the figure a rugged texture and a direct, forward-facing gaze.
