A weathered light tan limestone sculpture shaped like a semicircle features two winged figures flanking a central cross within a circular frame. The figures support the frame with one raised arm while holding leafy branches in their other hands. A small bird sits below the frame, and a decorative border of repeating floral patterns curves along the top edge.
