A dark brown and gray-green bronze sculpture depicts a slender, vertical figure encased in a full-length burial shroud. Only the face is visible, peeking from a deep hood with a prominent nose and recessed eyes. Narrow, raised lines wrap around the body like fabric ties, forming horizontal and diagonal bands across the textured surface. The sculpture narrows toward its base.
