The sculpture is a decorative chest with carvings of cherub-like figures, fruit, and foliage. The cherubs have a brown patina matching the dark wood of the chest, likely oak or walnut. The wood features gilded highlights, giving it a luxurious appearance. The chest sits on intricately carved feet, adding to its ornate design.
