The sculpture features a green textured surface on the left half, with a carved design that includes angular and linear patterns resembling architectural elements. The color scheme transitions from a vibrant green to a natural wood color, highlighting the separation between the carved area and the smooth, uncarved right side. The material appears to be wood, as evidenced by the visible grain and the earthy brown tone dominating the right section of the piece. The sculpture is presented in a vertical orientation on a rectangular wooden board with two symmetrical holes at the upper and lower center edges. A label in the bottom right corner provides information about the artist and artwork.
