The sculpture depicts a figure holding a small child in their arms. They are closely positioned, with the child being held up to the figure's chest. The sculpture is made out of terracotta, with a natural reddish-brown color and some lighter patches. The figure appears to be wearing a cloak or hooded garment that drapes around their body, with distinct folds. Both figures are in a gentle and tender pose, with the figure's face turned slightly towards the child. The sculpture's size suggests it might be a small to medium-sized piece, suitable for display on a table or pedestal.
