A painted wood sculpture depicts Our Lady of Sorrows with a light skin tone. She tilts her head left with eyes looking down and hands clasped. A dark green cloak with gold, radiating patterns covers her head and shoulders over a long, muted red gown. The paint is heavily worn and cracked, notably across her forehead and dress. The figure stands on a dark, rectangular wooden base.
