    The sculpture depicts a female figure made of patinated and gilded bronze, positioned frontally, with hands spread wide to the sides at shoulder level. She wears a long, form-fitting dress with folds and a wing-like cape flowing from her shoulders; her head is covered with a headpiece in the Egyptian style. The figure is mounted on a multi-stepped pedestal made of veined brown onyx. The face and hands are executed in ivory.
