An ivory sculpture depicts a standing woman wearing a floor-length wrapped robe carved with geometric and floral patterns. Her hair is coiffed into rounded loops atop her head. She grips a long-handled parasol with both hands, its canopy tilted toward our left. Her head tilts slightly, features delicate with downcast eyes and a closed mouth. The figure stands on a thin, oval base, the polished ivory surface capturing the fluid, layered folds of her garment.
