The sculpture has a ceramic figure stretched out inside a wooden frame with metal wires. The figure is only shown to the chest, head turned sideways with plump cheeks, fin-like protrusions at the temples and the cheeks, a banderole at the mouth with the writ stamped into clay. A finely woven and embroidered textile fragment is tied in a knot on its finger. The work is one of the main pieces of the Golem series.
