The sculpture is a round medallion featuring a mother and child. The mother, positioned in a quasi-sitting stance, holds up a child reaching upwards. Both figures are depicted in a stylized, low-relief form. The material appears to be gold or a gold-like metal, giving it a shiny and reflective surface. The medallion features the engraved text "THE DANCE OF LIFE BEGINS EARLY AND GOES ON" surrounding the figures in a circular form. The image presents the sculpture in sharp focus against a black background.
