The sculpture features a profile relief of a young woman holding a book. She is depicted wearing a simple garment, with a visible left hand holding the book against her chest and part of the right hand below, resting on the book. Above her head is a carved inscription reading "DIVA LAURA." The sculpture is crafted from a dark-colored stone that appears to be grayish slate. The rectangular plaque is topped with a triangular pediment that includes a carved face, adding to the ornamental detail. The surface of the sculpture contains a rough texture with signs of age or weathering, giving it an ancient appearance.
