The image shows a large, elaborate effigy or doll, likely representing Ekeko, the Andean god of abundance, laid out horizontally on a display table or platform. The figure's face is light brown with a wide, benevolent smile, and it wears a green chullo (Andean hat) along with colorful patterned textiles on its shoulders and arms.

The body of the figure, from the neck down, is densely covered with numerous miniature items. These include stacks of imitation dollar bills and other currencies, tiny replica Coca-Cola bottles, miniature packaged goods, small boxes, drums, and other household items. These objects are characteristic of the Alasitas festival in La Paz, Bolivia, where people purchase miniature versions of items they wish to acquire in real life, symbolizing wishes for prosperity and good fortune.

The background features banners with partial text visible, such as "DEL BICENTENARIO" and "ARTE," and some graphic designs. Above the display, horizontal metal beams suggest a market stall structure, and a yellow caution tape with "PELIGRO" (danger) printed on it is strung across the upper right side. The scene appears to be an outdoor market or festival, captured during the daytime, exuding a vibrant and festive cultural atmosphere.
