Ceramic figure sitting on an approximation of a fan-back Windsor chair made from wood, upon a wooden plinth. The figure is wearing a green coat with a red handkerchief in one pocket and an albino ferret with whiskers and red eyes looking out of the other. He is wearing green trousers, a cream hat with a green band, cream waistcoat and gaiters, brown boots and red scarf/neckerchief knotted around his neck. With one hand he is raising a silver-coloured tankard towards his lips, his face smiling and one eye closed in a wink, with the other hand he is holding a long stemmed pipe made of rubberised composition over wire. Across the front of the plinth, in gold and slightly raised are the words ‘Poacher Brewed by Flowers’.
