She holds a pink parasol in one hand, adding elegance to her poised appearance. Her hair is styled in a classic bun, embellished with small decorative flowers, and her serene facial expression is accentuated by delicately painted features. The case is placed on a surface, offering protection and display for this intricate piece of craftsmanship and cultural artistry.
