The sculpture depicts a human face framed within an architectural form reminiscent of an arch or window. The figure appears to be carved in a relief style, with the head and shoulders emerging prominently from the flat background. It is crafted from a dark material. The dark color and texture suggest a heavy, solid material. In terms of scale, the sculpture is relatively small compared to the white background on which it is displayed. The sculpture is centrally aligned within the image.
