A wood sculpture depicts a stylized standing figure with a blocky, rectangular head. The peach face features two black marks for eyes and a small wood protrusion for a nose above a thin line mouth. A dark gray block tops the head. The rectangular yellow torso is painted with scattered red dots and rests on thick yellow feet. The rough-hewn surface is weathered, showing visible wood grain beneath the paint.
