A light-brown wood sculpture depicts a mummiform figure with a striped wig framing a face with large, dark-lined eyes. A patterned collar rests around their shoulders. Their arms cross over their chest, hands holding two small birds. Nine horizontal rows of carved text wrap the lower body, tapering down to small, forward-facing feet. Large ears emerge from the sides of the wig, and the face has a serene expression.
