An intricately carved and painted wooden sculpture of a crocodile rests on a white surface. The artwork is adorned with vibrant blues, greens, reds, and golds, featuring geometric and curvilinear patterns. Its mouth is open, revealing a red tongue and rows of teeth. The crocodile's skin appears textured, with small, raised elements resembling scales or bumps. A shadow falls across the surface behind the sculpture.
