The carving is a bust of a human wearing a tall headdress. The entire carving is covered in red colouring, except for the base, which appears to be the wood from which the rest of the carving was made. The headdress is divided into three sections, each roughly the same in proportion. The top portion is bulbous, almost spherical, but has a flat lower section. From this section is the cylindrical middle portion. Fanning out from the base of the middle section is the bottom portion, which is saucer-shaped. This headdress rests upon the high head of the figure. The entire headdress is decorated with black and white incisions with colouring. The figure wears a headband and has long extended earlobes. Both ears are pierced and feature a bar running horizontally through the middle of the ear. The portion of the ear above this bar is coloured white. Blue glass has been inserted into the eyes. The teeth are exposed, revealing black-coloured teeth. Like the headdress, the face and body are covered in incisions that have been coloured black and red. The figure appears to wear a pair of black armbands on each arm. On the back of the head, hanging down the back, is a carving of a warrior's neck/back ornament.
