A mottled green and reddish-brown bronze sculpture depicts a kneeling figure facing right. They have a shaved head and wide eyes above a mouth set in a line. Their right arm is raised, palm facing outward, while the left arm bends to hold a small figurine against the chest. A long, pleated skirt wraps around their waist. The dark, textured surface displays an aged patina across the figure's body.
