The image shows a sculpture mounted on a simple geometrical wooden base that appears to be a truncated pyramid. The sculpture itself is an aged, weathered piece depicting a human figure from the shoulders up. It seems to be made out of a stone or clay material that has significantly worn over time, which suggests it might be an archaeological artifact or an antique.

The figure has discernible but eroded features including what appears to be a headdress or hair styled in an intricate manner, indicative of a cultural or historical significance possibly related to specific traditions or periods. The facial features are worn, making it difficult to ascertain fine details, but there seem to be eyes, a nose, and a mouth present.

The object's patina and eroded surface indicate considerable age, and the manner of presentation on a base implies that this item is likely viewed as a piece of cultural heritage or art.
