The sculpture is a bust depicting a human figure with shoulder-length hair and a solemn expression. It appears to be made from wood, as indicated by the texture and visible wood grain. The coloration of the sculpture features earthy tones, primarily brown and beige, with some areas highlighted in blue and green hues. The bust is realistically proportioned, capturing fine details in the facial features and hair, and the figure wears a garment with a broad collar. The sculpture is mounted on a plain pedestal and is shown against a plain background.
