Dorothy Van Dunker and John W. Kelleher

The sculpture depicts a figure of a standing woman dressed in traditional attire. The figure is wearing a flowing robe with intricate patterns in yellow, purple, and green. Underneath the robe, she is wearing green pants with decorative elements. The sculpture shows the figure in a poised stance with hands positioned in front, one holding a small object. The figure's hair is styled and adorned with a flower. The material appears smooth and polished, and the sculpture is mounted on a small base resembling carved wood.
