Physical description
A slender figure with precise and clear features. The figure stands upon a low pedestal with a back pillar which merges into the back of the wig. It holds an adze in its left hand and a hoe in the right hand which also grasps a cord supporting a basket over the left shoulder. The figure wears a long plaited false beard and has large ears. There is a brown stain on the left side and near the base.
