A cream-colored ivory sculpture, oriented toward the left, depicts a woman seated inside a rickshaw pulled by a crouching figure with a shaved head. The woman wears a patterned garment with hands tucked into a textured wrap. Two large wheels with numerous spokes support the carriage. Fine lines define the hair and clothing folds, while intricate gaps are carved throughout the figures and vehicle.
