An octagonal base supports a full-length sculpture of a female dancer, her head tilted to the left, with long hair covered by a scarf. She is depicted in traditional attire consisting of a top with short wide sleeves and harem pants covered by a belted hip scarf, wearing pointed-toe shoes. The girl holds a twisted scarf in her raised hands, which are bent at the elbows. The look is complemented by jewelry: large earrings, beads, a pendant, and bracelets. The base is decorated with the geometric Oriental style pattern.
