Crafted from earthenware or terracotta, as indicated by the unglazed base, the piece is shaped and decorated in a whimsical, folk art style. It depicts a figure, possibly a cowboy, wearing a brown hat, a yellow shirt with a red bandana, blue jeans, and painted details including a belt and a holster-like pouch. The figure features dark hair, blue eyes, and red lips. The base is incised with the text “Olaria Ribeiro P. Comercial Portugal,” which translates to “Ribeiro Pottery, Commercial Production, Portugal.”
