A cream-toned ivory sculpture depicts an elderly man standing and facing forward. He wears a decorated headband and a layered robe tied with a sash. His right hand strokes a long, pointed beard, while his left hand holds a long-handled broom resting on the ground. Fine, dark striations mark the material's surface. Delicate carving details his expressive face and the textured, patterned folds of his garment.
