what is a basic visual desription of Tom Robinson in To Kill A Mockingbird?

From the text:


"Tom was
twenty-five years of age; he was married with three children; he had been in trouble
with the law before: he once received thirty days for disorderly conduct." -  Chapter
19


"Tom was a black-velvet Negro, not shiny, but soft black
velvet. The whites of his eyes shone in his face, and when he spoke we saw flashes of
his teeth. If he had been whole, he would have been a fine specimen of a man."
- chapter 19


He also has one useless
arm.


"Thomas Robinson reached around, ran his fingers under
his left arm and lifted it. He guided his arm to the Bible and his rubber-like left hand
sought contact with the black binding. As he raised his right hand, the useless one
slipped off the Bible and hit the clerk’s table." Chapter
19
