The figure wears a skirt with geometric patterns and lines. The skirt has a design of pleated fans or feathers. The figure's feet are visible below the skirt, with toes carved into the stone. The background is dark gray to black, with a light gray surface that the sculpture sits on. A shadow is cast to the right of the sculpture. The overall style is ancient.
