The image displays a carved stone relief situated within the Church of St. Michael (Crkva Svetog Mihaila) in the Old Town of Kotor, Montenegro. The relief is illuminated by artificial light, emphasizing its three-dimensional forms and casting shadows. The central focus is a panel depicting the Blessed Virgin Mary, crowned and draped, seated and holding the infant Jesus in her left arm; both figures feature halos. To the left of the central group, a standing female figure, possibly a donor or saint, is rendered in profile, facing inward. To the right, a male figure, presumed to be a friar or monk, stands frontally, holding a book in his left hand and a circular object inscribed with "IHS" in his right hand, also possessing a halo. These figures are framed by architectural elements including a decorative pediment above the central group. Below the main relief, a frieze features carved grotesque faces interspersed with foliage motifs. The entire relief is set within a larger stone archway, above which a barrel-vaulted ceiling constructed of brick or rough-hewn stone is visible. The stone exhibits signs of age, including wear, erosion, and visible cracks in the upper arch and structural partitions.
