The sculpture depicts a nude female figure standing on waves, holding an oversized leaf above her head, with the leaf cascading down her back. The figure's stance is poised, with one foot slightly ahead of the other, and her other hand on her hip. The sculpture is predominantly gold in color, indicating it might be crafted from or plated with a metallic material, giving it a shiny, reflective surface. Below her feet, the waves are intricately carved, adding a textural contrast. These elements combine to give the sculpture an elegant, rhythmic quality, blending human and nature.
