Summary:
A cartoonish representation of badger (the school mascot) stands like a human with his feet together and his hands on his hips. He wears a blue sweater with a large white "W" painted on it; he has black and white markings and his eyes are blinking red lightbulbs. There is a metal loop on top of the head, apparently for moving the piece.
