The sculpture depicts a figure standing on a rectangular pedestal with the number "33." The figure is dressed in a green outfit with red accents, including a shirt, skirt, and a sash across the chest. The figure wears a headdress with feathers or similar decorations. The skin texture appears lifelike, and one hand holds an object resembling a cup. The other hand is slightly raised as though gesturing.
