A honey-colored wax sculpture depicts a vertical figure with a baboon head. A forward-facing snout and large, ribbed ears crown the body. Two bands cross over the chest. A smooth, human-shaped torso tapers downward to a small, flat base. Dark amber varnish gives the translucent yellow surface a glossy texture. Variations in color and small dark spots appear across the entire sculpture.
