The sculpture shows a standing figure in traditional attire, wearing a headband and with long hair flowing down their back. The figure holds an object resembling a handful of leaves in one hand and a walking staff by their side, while the other hand rests on their hip. The sculpture is brown with red and blue accents on the clothing and accessories, appearing to be made of wood. It is placed on a square pedestal, enhancing its stature. The size and details of the sculpture suggest it is approximately human-sized.
