A beaded necklace and other ornaments adorn her body. Behind her to the left is a smaller figure with one leg bent behind them and the other in front. To the right behind her are two more figures; one appears to be sitting. On her right side, a figure resembling a lion or tiger faces forward with its mouth open. The entire sculpture is made of a light brown stone. The background of the image is a plain wall with the sculpture casting a shadow on it. The title of the work is "Posthumous Portrait of a Queen as Parvati" by an unspecified artist.
