The sculpture represents a human figure in ancient Roman-style clothing. The figure wears a short tunic and a cloak over one shoulder, with one hand outstretched holding an object. The sculpture is painted realistically with green and red accents on the tunic and natural flesh tones. The material seems to be painted wood or terracotta with a textured finish, and the figure stands on a rectangular base.
