The object is a bronze sculpture cast in an elongated vertical form. It represents a human figure, most likely female, with a strong sense of stylization and symbolic detailing.
At the top, the figure wears a tall, elaborate headdress, rising upward in a pointed form and textured with fine linear and wrapped patterns. This adds height and prominence to the composition.
The face is oval and delicately modeled, with almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and full lips set in a serene expression. Subtle markings enhance its stylized character.
The neck is exceptionally long and encircled by a continuous series of stacked rings, representing coral bead regalia, a sign of prestige and high status in Benin culture.
Below the neck, the torso is slender, with minimal anatomical detail, drawing the viewer’s attention upward toward the head and coral adornment.
The base is angular and textured, suggesting a ground or pedestal on which the figure is anchored.
