    The figure of a dancer is located on a four-sided pedestal made of green veined marble, executed in the form of a truncated pyramid tapering upward, dressed in an open stage costume with bare breasts. Her legs are crossed, she stands on her toes, and her arms are spread out to the sides and raised upward. On the front facet of the pedestal, there is a bronze insert with a relief image of an ancient Egyptian figure playing the lyre. Hieroglyphic symbols are located along the lower edge of the plate.
