The construction in details:

//=================================
union{
  sphere{<0,1,0>,0.35}
  cone  {<0,0,0>,0.5,<0,1,0>,0.0}
  texture{
    pigment{ color  rgb<1,0.65,0>}
    finish { diffuse 0.9 phong 0.5}
  }// end of texture
}// end of union
//=================================

Frontview (View in +z direction)

The resulting image:

Scene description
for POV-Ray:
"povpawn.txt" or "povpawn.pov"

Variation on the theme:
If we change the text as follows:

//==================================
#declare Pawn =
union{
  sphere{<0,1,0>,0.35}
  cone  {<0,0,0>,0.5,<0,1,0>,0}
  texture{
    pigment{color  rgb<1,0.65,0>}
    finish {diffuse 0.9 phong 0.5}
  }// end of texture
}// end of union
//----------------------------------
union{
 object{ Pawn translate < 0, 0, 0.0>}
 object{ Pawn translate < 0, 0, 1.2>}
 object{ Pawn translate < 0, 0, 2.4>}
 rotate<0,0,0> translate<0,0.7,0>
}// end of union
//============================== end
