A deep blue glass figurine depicts a standing figure wearing a tall, stepped headdress. They wear a long garment with vertical folds and face us with their right arm resting at their side. Their left arm is bent at the elbow. The dark surface is heavily pitted and worn, with white residue clinging to the recessed areas of their face and body as they stand on a small circular base.
