The sculpture depicts a female tree deity with an attendant. The deity is a woman with her hair styled up and adorned with decorative elements. She wears necklaces and a garment around her waist. The woman's body is rendered with exposed breasts. Her right arm is bent at the elbow and appears to be positioned across her body. The left arm is not clearly visible. The deity's facial features are carved with a serene expression. She appears to be emerging from a tree trunk or branch. A smaller female figure, the attendant, is carved at the base of the tree. The smaller woman's hands are positioned near her face. The sculpture is made of stone and features intricate carvings. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
