The small figure has a wire rod extending from the head to a wooden handle at the top. The figure has a grey plaster of Paris head, hands, and lower legs. There is black detail on the face and the open mouth is red. He wears a light brown monk-like robe with a hood, a black string for a belt, and a sheer off-white cape at the shoulders. The wooden body is hidden under the robe.
