The sculpture depicts a standing female figure, shown from two angles. She wears a detailed, layered outfit that includes a headdress and an elaborately draped dress. Her arms are folded across her abdomen. The sculpture appears to be made of a warm-colored material with shades of brown and orange, accented with minute details that give depth to her attire and features. The figure stands on a round base with a smooth texture and a faint sheen. The piece emphasizes the headdress and dress folds, depicting a timeless and classical aesthetic.
