A statuette glazed in vibrant turquoise blue depicts a human-shaped figure with arms crossed over its chest. Wearing a striped headdress, the figure has large eyes outlined in black. Its hands grasp a pair of small hoes, while rows of black hieroglyphic script wrap horizontally around the lower body. A small chip at the base reveals a pale gray interior beneath the colorful glaze.
