A greenish-gray sandstone sculpture depicts bare feet standing on a thick, yellowish-brown circular base. The legs are broken off at the ankles. The feet face forward with detailed toes and arches marked by cracks. The figure's right foot angles slightly outward. The base features a rough, vertically textured edge and a smooth top surface where the feet rest.
