A light brown, ivory carving with black accents depicts a man in a dancing pose, leaning forward with his right knee raised. He wears a tall, tapered black hat featuring horizontal ridges and a white circular inset. Intricate botanical patterns are etched into his cream robes. Holding a folded fan against his hip, his mouth is open and he wears small black shoes, the sculpture featuring fine, dark lines throughout.
