An ivory sculpture depicts a standing woman on a circular base. She wears a wide, flat hat and a floor-length robe with etched floral motifs. Her head tilts toward her right shoulder. Her right hand gathers the heavy folds of her garment, while her left rests near her waist. Finely carved lines define the intricate patterns and serene facial features. The uniform off-white material has a smooth, polished finish.
