The image depicts a handcrafted figurine of a woman with a dark complexion, adorned with traditional attire and accessories.

Her hair is styled in a tall, elegant updo wrapped with a beige fabric. The figure stands on a green square base, symbolizing grass or earth, and carries a basket in one hand filled with small items, possibly food or grains.
