A cream-colored ivory sculpture with traces of pigment depicts a standing older man with a bald head and slight smile, wearing a robe detailed with dark geometric and wave patterns. In his left hand, he cradles a round fruit, while his right hand holds a branch with three dangling gourds. The figure stands on an irregular base with two short stumps. Fine, dark lines delineate the intricate patterns.
