The musician's head is missing, replaced by a rectangular prism. The musician has one arm bent at the elbow with the hand positioned near the neck. The musician's other arm is not visible. The musician is wearing what appears to be a tunic or robe. The sculpture appears weathered with darker spots on its surface. The background of the image is light grey.
