The sculpture features a female figure in a mid-length gown with a fitted waist and decorative trim. The gown is predominantly white with red accents at the neckline, sleeves, and hem. The figure wears a red feather on her head and holds an item in her left hand. She stands on a cylindrical base and is made of wood with a smooth finish and visible grain. The wooden material is painted, creating a lifelike appearance with a slightly glossy texture. The figure's facial features are detailed and emphasized by the paint, offering a realistic representation in three dimensions.
