The sculpture is a bust of a woman with long, wavy hair flowing over her shoulders. Her expression is neutral, with slightly parted lips and prominent cheekbones. The sculpture is made of grey stone with a rough, textured surface. It is placed on a rounded pedestal with a subtly flared base for stability. The neutral tones of the stone accentuate the detailed sculpting of the woman's facial features and hair.
