The sculpture depicts a female bust with a headdress featuring a shell and bead-like decorations. It is crafted from white marble, showing a smooth polish in some areas and a rougher texture on the lower part. The bust is in a classic pose, looking slightly downward with serene facial features. It is mounted on a rounded marble pedestal.
