The image shows three figures within an intricate architectural setting. The central figure is a woman with long hair partially covered by a headscarf, holding an elaborate object. She wears a detailed garment and a halo above her head. An infant with a halo sits on her lap. Kneeling before them is a man with a shaved head, wearing heavy garments and holding a crozier or staff. The background depicts a townscape with towers and houses, trees, and a clear sky. The architectural elements are intricately carved with decorative patterns and motifs.
