Help -- Anybody know what's on the porch?

I can't figure out something that is described in KO Dahl's novel "The Last Fix." The question is about the "Palace."

When  goes to Frølich goes to Gunnarstranda's country cabin for barbecue,Gunnarstranda is sitting on the porch rolling cigarettes. To his right is something with a cap and arms, but it's never explained what it is.

This is in the chapter called "Palace" which is what Gunnarstranda calls the cabin.

Thanks for any help.
