A porcelain sculpture with gilt metal mounts depicts a bearded man in a brown hooded robe facing right. He carries a bundle of pale green grass, with a person's legs in orange shoes protruding from the bottom. A gold ring crowns the bundle's peak. The man holds a basket of white eggs and a red spotted bird. He stands on a mounded, white porcelain base flecked with green.
