Small, dark brown statue of a priestling asleep over a stonemill by an unknown artist. The statue is made of dark brown material, possibly wood or stone, with visible signs of aging and wear. The priestling is depicted with their head resting on their arms which are placed on top of a stonemill. The stonemill appears to have a flat top and a rounded bottom. The priestling wears a simple robe that covers their body. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the statue.
