The attire consists of a blue top with gold trim on the neckline and a vibrant orange skirt or robe with similar gold accents at the hem. The figure's skin is depicted in a deep brown tone, and the figure stands barefoot on a dark, textured base. The figure's posture is upright, with one arm bent at the elbow and the hand resting on the chest, while the other hand holds part of the garment.
