The sculpture portrays a humanoid figure in a standing position. The figure is wearing a helmet and a form-fitting suit resembling pilot or aviator attire, with a bow tie or scarf around the neck. The sculpture is primarily green with brown accents on the gloves, boots, and helmet. The material seems to be wood, evident from the visible grain and texture. The figure stands on a black rectangular base. The sculpture has a stylized, cartoonish quality with simplified features and a smooth, polished finish.
