The sculpture depicts a standing woman holding a child in her arms, while another child is clinging to her legs. The woman is wearing draped clothing, and the child in her arms is nestled against her shoulder. The child at her legs is partially wrapped in the folds of her clothing. The sculpture is crafted in a material resembling terracotta, giving it a warm, earthy brown color. The figures are intricately detailed, with realistic features and attention to the texture of the clothing.
