The figure appears to have wings on either side of its body and is adorned with a decorative headdress on its head. It wears a chest plate and a necklace. A protrusion extends from the top of the headdress. The figure stands on two legs, each featuring a decorative curl at the bottom. The entire sculpture exhibits intricate carvings and appears to be made of stone or metal.
