The sculpture depicts a human figure standing with hands in a prayer position. The figure is dressed in a draped garment with decorative patterns along the edges. The sculpture is painted with a muted palette of beige, white, red, blue, and green. The hair is styled close to the head, the face has delicate features in a serene expression. The proportions are elongated, giving it a stylized appearance. It rests on a round base and appears to be made of smooth stone or plaster.
