The sculpture is a rectangular plaque with twelve circular reliefs featuring various imagery. The reliefs show subjects such as an angelic figure, architectural elements, animals, and nature motifs. The circles are arranged in four rows of three, each bordered by a rope-like design encircling the images. The material appears to be stone or a similar substance, in a monochromatic, grayscale color. The reliefs give a sense of organized, symbolic representation with high relief carving. The plaque is mounted within a simple rectangular frame for clear viewing of each detail.
