The Crimean dancer is shown in a moment of dance: her torso is tilted to the side, and her arms are raised above her head. This gesture makes the small figure particularly expressive and emphasizes its elongated proportions. The body is made of light ivory, while the skirt and headdress are made of bronze with colored patination and gilding. The contrast of materials helps separate the smooth surface of the skin from the more relief folds of the clothing.
