A tall barber pole on a a square, stepped pedestal base. The pole is made of turned and painted wood. It has a black square base, red white and blue striped motif, and silvery spherical finial at the top. There is a painted iron-alloy bracket at the midpoint that would be used to secure the post to a support. The tiered base may be a later addition to the piece.
