The sculpture shows multiple figures in a religious scene. At the center, a seated figure holds a child, surrounded by two kneeling figures. Two standing figures flank the scene, with a cherubic figure above them. The sculpture is detailed with acanthus leaves and ornamental patterns. It is made of bronze or brass with a dark gold or patinated bronze color. The overall appearance is ornate and intricate, capturing religious iconography in a classical style.
