The sculpture depicts a human face with stylized features, including prominent, arched eyebrows, a long nose, and closed eyes. The lips are slightly pursed, and the face has a serene expression. The material of the sculpture appears to be a dark, polished wood. The surface shows carved textures and smooth areas. The head is adorned with a textured headdress or hairstyle, while the shoulders and arms suggest the figure's body continues beyond the frame.
