The sculpture shows a relief of a mother holding a child in her arms. The figures appear intimate, with the child facing the mother. The mother's head is inclined towards the child, both figures have halos indicating their sacred status. The background of the relief includes a simple design with clouds at the bottom. The sculpture is made from a dark golden-brown colored material, possibly bronze. An angel's face with outstretched wings adorns the top of the plaque. The plaque has an arched top with a small circular hole for hanging, suggesting it is a devotional artifact.
