The head is broad and flattened at the crown, with a face showing almond shaped eyes, a straight nose, and a closed mouth. The arms hang at the sides of the body, bending slightly at the elbow with the hands resting near the hips.
The legs form a solid, tapering mass that narrows slightly before ending in two flat, rectangular feet. The stone surface throughout displays a mottled pattern of dark green, black, and lighter brown tones. The figure stands independently on its base.
