Semi-patterned representation of Mary holding Jesus in her hands. Her long hair encircles her sad face in tightly arranged waves. Falling over Mary's limp shoulders, they emphasize the delicacy of the robes she wears.
The Child on display has been stripped bare, exposing her naked body. Squirming in his Mother's arms, he looks out of the figural space with a smile. The whole piece is set on a stepped console.
