A carved ivory sculpture depicts a woman standing and facing toward the right. She wears a long robe decorated with incised floral patterns and a head covering. She holds a long-handled broom vertically in her right hand. Her eyes are downcast and her mouth is set in a straight line. Delicate lines detail the broom's bristles and clothing folds, highlighting the cream-colored material's smooth texture.
