The statue is carved from a solid piece of stone and is weathered. The right arm is bent at the elbow, and the hand is closed. A small, rectangular white label sits on the pedestal and includes the text, "Togate figure." It states that it is a "Berian culture, mid 2nd century BC," from the "Shrine of Cerro de los Santos (Mondújar, Altiplano)." It also states that the "final phase of the Shrine was greatly influenced by the Roman Republic." The text ends by noting that "these Roman Republican togas were very common and were often donated to shrines by Berian and Latin characters, related to the offering or to his community." Another label, "Togado," is placed on the pedestal to the left of the statue. The label describes the sculpture as "piedra caliza" and states that it is from the "Cultura Ibérica, mediados del siglo I a.C., Santuario del Cerro de los Santos (Mondújar, Altiplano)."
