It is a fully carved wooden sculpture depicting a classical female figure, identifiable as a "Bathing Venus" or a bather.

Subject and Style: The figure is sculpted in a graceful and modest pose (pudica Venus), with a bare torso and draped drapery covering the legs, delicately held in place by the hands.

Material and Finish: The work is carved from a block of solid wood with a warm, amber color. The finish is glossy, allowing the light to glide over the forms and highlight the natural grain of the wood.
