Human figure standing on a pentagonal (or octagonal ?) base. A cage-like object is balanced on the figure's head. There is a pipe-like object in the figure's mouth; the end of this object connects to the top of a staff that the figure is holding in their right hand. The figure has bags slung over both shoulders and appears to be holding a long shotgun in their left hand. The figure has an oval-shaped head and appears to be wearing a loincloth-like garment.
