A warm brown cedar sculpture with dark undertones depicts a slender, standing woman. Her arms are missing, leaving flat surfaces at the shoulders. A long black wig frames her face and drapes onto her chest. Carved features include large eyes and a mouth set in a line. A vertical grain runs down the torso, which features a circular navel. Her legs separate at the ankles, ending in dark-pigmented, rectangular feet.
