The sculpture depicts the head of a Bodhisattva Guanyin. The head is made of stone with a weathered appearance. The face is teardrop shaped with a pointed chin. The eyes are closed, and the eyelids are depicted as thin lines. The eyebrows are not visible. The nose is straight and proportional to the rest of the face. The lips are thin. A crown adorns the top of the head, featuring a central element flanked by two circular elements. The crown sits atop a band around the forehead. The background of the image is a gradient gray.
