A smooth, gray-green faience figurine with patches of brown staining depicts a standing falcon-headed figure. Facing forward on a thin base, the figure has its left leg slightly advanced. It wears a tall crown with a flat, rounded top and a short kilt decorated with vertical ridges. Its arms are held straight at its sides. The glossy surface highlights the bird's simply carved face and the figure's slender human torso.
