A faience figurine glazed in pale robin's egg blue depicts an upright baboon-headed creature with a smooth, columnar body. Deep horizontal ridges form a wide mane flanking its face, which has small eyes and a rounded snout. Tan patches mark worn areas on the surface. The figure's arms rest against its sides, and the lower body is chipped away, ending in a fragmented tan stone base.
