The image shows a small figurine of a person dressed in an outfit reminiscent of formal or traditional attire, featuring a yellow shirt under a black-bordered jacket, beige pants, and a wide-brimmed hat with a dark bend crowned by a band. The figure’s face has exaggerated and stylized features, including large painted eyes and red lips, while the hands appear to be painted with a red detail at the tips, possibly representing gloves or a stylistic choice. The figure is mounted on a green rectangular base, standing with an air of poise.
