The statue is made of Parian marble, and stands 211 centimeters (6.92 ft) high; it rises on a pedestal 26 centimeters (10 in) high.
As the inscription suggests, it depicts a young woman who died unmarried and therefore must be known forever as a maiden.

She is standing erect and wearing a long peplos, decorated with flowers and meanders.
Around her waist she wears a girdle.
The foreparts of her feet and sandals are visible.
Her right arm hangs down and firmly holds onto her peplos.
Her left arm is bent in front of her body and holds a still-unopened lotus flower.
On her head she wears a garland of flowers, round about her neck a necklace, and on each arm a bracelet.
