The composition is entirely carved from a single piece and rests on an accompanying pedestal. The sculpture is hand-carved from linden wood and richly gilded, giving the whole a warm and solemn appearance. The facial expressions are gentle and subdued, with great attention to posture and the mutual relationship between the figures.
