The sculpture is a bust of a young woman with intricate, stylized curly hair framing her face and extending back elegantly. The material of the sculpture appears to be a smooth, earthy terracotta or similar clay substance, characterized by its warm golden-brown hue. The bust portrays the woman from the chest up with a contemplative expression, downcast eyes, and slightly parted lips. The texture of the sculpture is smooth on her face, while the hair and shoulders exhibit more texture. The overall pose reflects a serene and thoughtful demeanor with a classic elegance.
