The sculpture depicts a standing figure holding a musical instrument that resembles a bagpipe or a recorder. The figure wears a detailed outfit that includes a short, flared skirt, and a hat adorned with a large plume. The attire and accessories, such as the over-the-shoulder sash and boots, are accented with a blue hue against a predominantly cream or off-white colored material. The base of the sculpture features intricate patterns, including swirling designs and a small lamb positioned at the figure's feet. The overall appearance of the sculpture suggests it is a decorative piece with historical or cultural motifs. The blue accents highlight the contours and features of the figure, adding depth against the lighter background.
