The sculpture depicts a seated female figure adorned in a flowing garment, holding a small child on her lap. She is flanked by two cherubic figures, one on each side of her, standing with bodies slightly turned towards the central figure. The entire piece is a bas-relief, crafted from a material that appears golden in color. An inscription below the central figures provides text that likely includes a name and date. The texture and wear on the surface indicate it is an older piece.
