The sculpture depicts two figures: a seated adult draped in flowing attire and a smaller winged child-like figure. The adult figure is seated on a decorative structure or pedestal, engaging with the cherub. The sculpture is crafted from a gold-colored material. The figures have been intricately detailed to convey the folds of the drapery and the curves of their bodies. The cherub is positioned with one knee on the pedestal. Both figures seem engaged in conversation or a symbolic gesture. The polished gold surface highlights the fine detailing of the sculpture, while the textured backdrop creates depth and contrast. This piece has a rounded overall form which is flat on one side.
