The sculpture features a small angelic figure, known as a cherub, depicted kneeling with its arms crossed over its chest. The cherub has wings that curve gracefully from its back and a head full of intricately carved curls. The sculpture is a muted earthy color, suggesting it could be made from a type of stone or painted in natural tones to closely mimic stone. The figure stands on a rectangular pedestal, which provides a stable base and elevates the subject slightly. The cherub's expression is calm, and the detailed carving highlights a sense of gentle intricacy, making the sculpture appear delicate and quite life-like, despite its small size.
