The figure is constructed from hand-painted composition or papier-mache material. The character features a large, stylized head with a jovial expression, wearing a peaked brown hat, a brown tunic with a yellow belt, and red pointed shoes. A bow and a quiver containing arrows are slung across the chest. The underside of the base features a blue rectangular foil label with white text that reads JAPAN. Faint incised characters are present on the underside but are significantly worn and illegible. Height: Approximately 5 inches.
