Dimensions: height 6.5 cm, width 1.8 cm., A small carved object rests on a smooth surface, appearing to be made of pale translucent material with areas of warm brown-orange discoloration.

The surface shows subtle variations in color from off-white to light beige and the brown-orange tones concentrate at the ends and on raised details.
