The sculpture depicts a female figure seated on the edge of a large block, with her legs crossed and her feet on the ground. She faces us, her hips tilted towards the left. Her left hand is placed between her thighs, while her right arm rests on the block that she sits on. Her hair is pulled back from her face, and she has a long nose, round eyes, and small lips. The sculpture is crafted from a dark-colored material with a textured surface. The sculpture sits on a thin rectangular base.
