Mary holding a seated, naked baby Jesus with her right arm and a globe in her left hand. The child holds a dove in his right hand, his left hand extends toward the Mother in a loving gesture, stroking her neck.
This is a recreation in sculpture of the iconographic image of the type "Eleusa" - expressing the mutual tenderness of Mother and Son.
