    A full-length sculptural image of a young female fortune teller in a headpiece and oriental attire, looking at her raised hand in which she holds cards fanned out. The girl's image is complemented by jewelry: a large pendant on her chest, bracelets on her arms and legs. The figure is fixed on a base made in the form of a rectangular platform with an attached step, covered with cloth. On the base, to the right of the fortune teller, stands a short pole topped with a disk; to the left is an octagonal Oriental table with playing cards spread across it.
