The sculpture depicts a young nude child standing amidst several serpents. The child is engaging with the snakes, holding them in both hands. The piece is made of a dark metallic material, likely bronze, with brownish and aged golden hues. The rectangular plaque has a slightly worn and antiqued texture. The intricate details of the child’s curly hair, facial features, and the coiling of the serpents are prominently displayed, giving it a dynamic appearance.
