The sculpture is of a woman depicted as a bust with a focus on her upper body and head. She is dressed in a teal-colored outer layer with a lighter green bodice, featuring intricate detail. The material appears to be painted wood or a similar substance, giving it an antique texture. Her hair is styled neatly around her face, colored in light brown, and she wears a single visible earring. The attire and design reflect historical clothing styles, and the sculpture is set against a plain backdrop, emphasizing its craftsmanship and color detail.
