The sculpture shows a biblical scene with a central figure with long hair, partially clothed with a draped cloth around the waist, surrounded by several other figures. The group is closely clustered, with one figure on the left reaching out to touch the central figure. The material of the sculpture appears to be bronze, with a dark metallic color and areas of golden sheen. The sculpture is in relief, giving it a three-dimensional appearance, with detailed and intricate depictions of the scene.
