The sculpture depicts a head with exaggerated facial features, including bulging eyes and a wide-open mouth. It is made of stone with natural earth-toned colors such as various shades of brown and beige. The stone surface looks rough and weathered. The head has stylized hair or decorative elements on the sides, creating a wide and somewhat flattened appearance across the top. The open mouth is circular. The expression appears to be one of surprise or shock, capturing a moment of exaggerated animation.
