The sculpture is a bust portraying an elderly person's head and shoulders. It features a distinct, textured surface with detailed facial features like a high forehead, pronounced cheekbones, and closed eyes. The piece is cast in bronze, giving it a dark metallic appearance with variations in tones due to the lighting and texture. The material's ruggedness is emphasized by the contrast between smooth and rough areas. The sculpture is slightly larger than a human head, standing on a solid base.
