A pale, rough-hewn wood sculpture depicts a vertical figure with orange-painted hair at the top. Two blue circles represent eyes on either side of a wood sliver that juts out for a nose, with a thin red line for a mouth. The rectangular body is unpainted, showing natural grain and prominent tool marks. Standing on a flat base, the carving features simple, raw lines and a jagged, unfinished texture throughout.
