The sculpture is primarily composed of wood, evident from the texture and grain visible on the surface. It has a warm, brown color, with darker and lighter shades enhancing its three-dimensional appearance. The piece has an ornate design, suggesting it once formed part of a larger, elaborately decorated object. The carving of the leaves and the geometric patterns show meticulous craftsmanship.
