Human figure standing on a rectangular (nearly square) base. The edges of the base are slightly uneven, and there is a small jut on the back edge of the base. The figure is wearing a square-shaped headdress with pointed ends on the brim and holding a large, lute-like instrument. The figure's left hand is holding the neck of the instrument, while the right hand appears to be playing the instrument. The headdress, instrument, and the figure's buttocks and thighs are painted red, yellow, and white.
