    Full-length figure of a dancing girl on an octagonal base; head tilted to the left, long hair covered by a scarf.
    She is presented in traditional clothing consisting of a top with short wide sleeves, harem pants covered by a belted hip scarf, and pointed shoes. In her raised hands, bent at the elbows, the girl holds a twisted scarf. The image is complemented by jewelry: large earrings, beads, a pendant, and bracelets. The base is decorated with oriental geometric pattern.
