This ancient Sumerian sculpture is carved from a light-colored stone, likely alabaster or limestone, with darker portions visible on the sides. The figure has an exaggerated expression with heavy-lidded eyes, a pronounced nose, and an open mouth showing clearly defined teeth, giving it the "disgruntled" appearance referenced in the title. The head sits atop an elongated neck, with stylized hair or headdress elements carved in darker stone on either side. The figure's hands are positioned at the base, with detailed fingers clearly visible. The overall form is compact and symmetrical, with a squared-off base, typical of Sumerian sculptural conventions. The surface shows signs of age, with scattered spots and discoloration across the lighter portions of the stone.
