The sculpture depicts a crouched human figure with pronounced facial features, an elongated head with geometric extensions, and a beard-like structure. The figure is upright on its toes with bent knees, holding an object close to its torso. The sculpture is primarily dark in color, suggesting it may be made of a dark material with a textured, aged appearance. The surface shows signs of weathering with patches of lighter coloration.
