The sculpture is a bust of a human head made from a material that appears to be wax or resin. The head has distinct features such as hair and a face with subtle details. The sculpture is colorful, with green, yellow, red, and lighter tones blending together. The bust is mounted on a long, slender, rectangular rod with gradient shades of yellow and green, leading to a metallic square base that supports the piece upright.
