The right eye is visible, while the left eye is not. The sculpture has a beard made of small curls. On the right side of the head, there is a carved bird's head. The top of the head is adorned with a band featuring a rope-like design. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or metal and has a weathered appearance. It is mounted on a black stand.
