A bronze-toned anthropomorphic head with a flattened crown is shown with hands resting on top, the gesture captured in a serene, protective pose. Fine parallel incisions cover the face like hair grain, and the puckered lips and subtle eyelids form a contemplative, inward expression. The sculpture's surface alternates between softly burnished highlights and muted, patinated recesses, suggesting a practiced manipulation of metal or a ceramic with metallic finish.

Its compact, vertical composition and stylized features create a sense of quiet ritual presence, as if the figure holds a private thought or blessing.
