The sculpture depicts a female figure standing upright with her arms crossed over her chest. She has long hair that flows down her back and a feathered headdress that adds height to her appearance. The sculpture is painted in rich, dark tones, with a prominent use of red and yellow clothing. The attire consists of a fitted bodice leading down to a skirt-like garment that wraps around her waist and legs, with decorative elements in contrasting hues. The sculpture stands on a small, circular base. The material appears to be wood, given the carved details and the slightly textured surface that suggests the natural grain visible through the painted surface. The style and posture of the sculpture give a commanding presence as it gazes slightly downward at the viewer.
