Standing Native-American male figure faces east. He wears moccasins, buckskin pants and a breechcloth. Both arms are extended upward with a peace pipe clasped in hands held as though in prayer. A narrow strip of fabric hangs from the pipe. The figure wears a single feather, and a knife protrudes from his proper right hip. The sculpture stands on a square base.
