This rectangular sculpture depicts a seated person holding a large beam, surrounded by draped fabric and flanked by two angels. The central person is nude except for a cloth covering their lap, and they are looking down at the ground. Their feet are bare on the rocky ground, with one foot resting on what appears to be a skull and the other stepping on a curving shape that may be a snake. The sculpture is a golden color and features two holes at the top corners, potentially for mounting.
