The statue depicts a seated woman wearing a long dress and a head covering. Her right elbow is bent and rests on her head, while her left hand rests on her lap. She wears a necklace, bracelets on both wrists, and a headpiece. A portion of her right shoulder and upper chest is exposed. The dress has folds and creases that suggest texture and movement. The base of the statue is octagonal and has the word "CLEOPATRA" carved into it. The statue sits on a black platform. The background is gray.
