The sculpture depicts a standing female figure with hands pressed together in front of her chest. The attire reflects a medieval style, consisting of a red gown with intricate patterns at the front and a dark cloak covering the back and arms. The material appears to be wood with painted surfaces. The sculpture is smaller than life-size and mounted on a rectangular base.
