The sculpture is a wooden carving of a feline face. It is rendered in shades of brown wood with visible grain patterns and textures. The eyes and features of the face are intricately carved. The wood appears weathered with knots and imperfections. The carving includes detailed ears and a mane that fans out from the sides of the face. The artwork is mounted on a plain light-colored background.
