The object is a hand-carved wooden sculpture of a female bust. It features a stylized representation of a woman with a long neck, prominent facial features including full lips, a broad nose, and defined cheekbones. Her head is slightly turned to the side, giving a sense of movement or contemplation. The hair is intricately carved with visible patterns, and there are detailed carvings along the neckline of her garment. The surface of the wood shows natural grain and color variation, adding depth and character to the piece. The bust ends just below the shoulders, with both arms cut off, focusing attention on the face and upper torso.
