The figure leans forward with a wild ecstatic and expression, as if goading others to join him in a similar state of bacchanalian revelry. The figure raised on a stone disc base.

The charming figure done completely in the lost wax method is in a primitive naive style. The male figure is dancing excitedly on a rocky outcrop. His costume of a loose-fitting coat with long flared sleeves flying in space as he dances reveals his large potbelly while his loose-fitting shift girdled at the waist with a large belt flips up to show his legs and bare feet as he dances.
