A light brown ivory sculpture depicts a compact group of figures. Left, a robed woman turns to look back. Centered, a child crouches low with a curved tool, while behind them, a man carries a bundle and pole. Right, another man stands holding a shoulder pole with a hanging basket. Fine, dark brown lines striate the carving, highlighting their clothing. Small gaps are carved between the figures to add depth.
