The object is a carved wooden sculpture representing a stylized monkey. The monkey stands upright on a rectangular base with one arm raised to the side of its head, possibly in a gesture of thought or playfulness. It has exaggerated facial features including a wide mouth with a protruding tongue, large ears, and prominent eyes. The surface is textured to imitate fur, and the wood has a polished finish, giving it a rich, dark brown tone.
This type of sculpture is commonly associated with African folk art, often used to convey humor, wisdom, or mimicry of human behavior.
