The sculpture depicts a stylized human figure facing towards the right. It features a prominent crown or headpiece. The figure is dressed in a skirt and is supported by a pole while standing on an elongated, fish-like base. The color of the sculpture is mainly reddish-brown with darker shades, likely made of wood. The overall appearance of the sculpture is elongated with a simple, cut-out design, resembling a marionette or figure from folk art, offering a flat, two-dimensional look.
