The sculpture "Mirror Handle: Standing Woman" by an unknown artist depicts a woman standing on a rectangular base. The woman has long hair styled in two buns on either side of her head. She wears a long dress with folds and creases carved into it, along with multiple necklaces and bracelets. Her hands are positioned in front of her body. The sculpture is made of a brown material, possibly stone or wood. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
