Earthenware figure of a stout sailor, standing legs apart and arms akimbo. He is wearing white trousers, a white shirt with narrow blue stripes, a red neckerchief and a black belt. His yellow straw hat is on the back of his head. The face hair and beard are coloured naturalistically and the figure stands on a plain white oval base decorated with a gilt line. The surface below the figure's feet is painted to resemble grass.
