Kneeling masculine sculpture, with long arms crossed over the chest and hands resting on the shoulders in one of the most frequent postures of Djenné statuary. He wears a serene expression, looking towards the front, and his features are hieratic. The eyebrows are very distinct, the nose straight and the small mouth slightly open. The figure is adorned with bracelets on the wrists. A garment covers him from the waist to the knees.
