A honey-colored wax sculpture with dark amber varnish depicts a standing figure with arms crossed over their chest. A long, textured wig rests on their shoulders. The face features a prominent nose and indistinct eyes. Two narrow bands cross diagonally over the torso. Below the arms, the body tapers into a single column with small feet pointing forward. The translucent surface appears glossy with darker color variations.
