A turquoise-painted wood sculpture depicts a stylized figure standing on a rectangular base. One arm extends straight forward to the left, while the other points diagonally down behind the torso. Its blocky head features two vertical black lines as eyes. Faded horizontal bands of light green wrap around the weathered, rough-hewn surface. The visible wood grain and geometric shape give the figure a simplified, abstract appearance.
