The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a person wearing a long robe with distinct sections of color. The robe is primarily a combination of yellow, gray, and brown hues. This figure is holding a block-like object in one hand and the other hand appears to be holding or connected to a string of beads. The figure has defined facial features with glasses. The sculpture is made of wood and rests on a square wooden base painted in similar tones as the robe. The sculpture's size and proportion suggest it is a small to medium-sized decorative piece that could be displayed on a table or shelf.
