The sculpture depicts a standing figure wearing an elaborate outfit. The figure has a headdress with two feathers, a heavy necklace, a tunic in earth tones with red fabric in the skirt area, and a detailed upper garment. The figure's arms are extended, with the left hand outwards and slightly open, and the right hand relaxed by the side. The sculpture has a matte finish and is placed on a rectangular plinth, making it accessible for viewers.
