The sculpture is a bust depicting the upper part of a human figure. The figure is adorned with a detailed lace collar around the neck. The color of the sculpture includes subdued hues of earthy tones, with remnants of faded colors. The material appears to be wood or a similar substance that has been painted. The sculpture looks worn and aged, with visible chips and cracks. The subject seems to be looking slightly downward, with a calm and serene expression.
