A dark brown-black patinated bronze sculpture depicts a standing figure with downcast eyes and elongated earlobes. Textured curls cover the head and a rounded protrusion atop it. The right hand is raised to chest height, palm forward, while the left arm hangs low. Deep, symmetrical U-shaped folds ripple down the robes. The figure's feet rest upon a circular base adorned with rows of stylized, rounded petals.
