The sculpture depicts a female figure adorned with a headdress resembling a collection of feathers or an intricate plant design. She is dressed in attire combining multiple layers and textures, featuring a green bodice with a pinkish-red shawl draped over her shoulder, a yellow skirt, and pink trim at the hem. The figure is shown standing on a rectangular base, holding a cylindrical object in her right hand while cradling a rectangular item in her left arm. The sculpture is colored with earth tones, including greens, yellows, and pinks, and appears to be made from a carved material with a smooth, polished finish. The sculpture stands upright and is positioned as if engaged in an activity or gesture, gazing forward confidently.
