An ivory figurine with a creamy finish depicts a standing woman in a leaf-patterned kimono secured by a wide sash. Her hair is gathered in a high bun, intricately defined by fine, darkened lines. Facing forward on a circular base, she holds a woven basket in her right hand. Darkened engravings accentuate her subtle facial features, the basket's tight weave, and the winding floral motifs across her robe.
