The figure wears an elaborate headdress of overlapping rectangular pieces and large circular ear ornaments. A beaded necklace with a central pendant hangs on their torso. Below their arms, a wide belt secures a rectangular panel over two legs. The face has defined features including a straight nose and lips set in a line.
