Wooden figure of an unclothed man standing with left leg raised. The right foot rests on the base of the statue. The head is bald and the face looks primitive. The left hand, which holds a circular pan, is broken off the statue. Height (including base) is 35cm and an approximate width of 10cm. A later label on the base states "H.G. Quaritch Wales Bequest. Folk Art, S. Thailand/N. Malay Peninsula". It is unknown whether this label is accurate.
