A vertically oriented pigment on wood painting depicts the Virgin Mary with a medium skin tone, facing right and looking downward. She wears a dark, gold-patterned hood and robe, her hands held near her chest with one palm facing inward. She is encased in an ornate silver-toned frame featuring turquoise and yellow enamel scrolls. A curved, rope-like pattern halos her head, while elaborate metalwork fills the background surrounding her.
