Hand-carved thornwood sculpture depicting a man climbing a tall coconut tree. The figure is shown gripping the trunk with both hands and feet, in a dynamic posture that suggests movement and effort. The tree has a textured surface with carved horizontal ridges to represent the trunk's natural segments. At the top, wide, stylized palm fronds spread outward, forming the crown of the coconut tree. At the base of the tree sits a small gourd-like container. The sculpture is mounted on a square base, providing stability and grounding the scene. The overall composition captures a moment of traditional labor in a rural setting.
