A polychrome statue of Saint Joseph and the Child Jesus stands centrally on a multi-tiered white rectangular pedestal. Saint Joseph, depicted as a bearded adult in a brown over-robe and white undergarment, holds a bouquet of white lilies in his left arm and places his right hand on the shoulder of the Child Jesus, who is depicted as a young boy in a white robe, looking forward. Two spherical, white outdoor lights illuminate the base of the statue. A white plaque with a red border on the pedestal displays Vietnamese text identifying the statue as "THÁNH GIUSE" (Saint Joseph) and further describing him as "THE RIGHTEOUS MAN OF GOD, THE CHASTE SPOUSE OF THE VIRGIN MARY, THE FOSTER FATHER OF LORD JESUS, THE PATRON AND PROTECTOR OF CAY VONG PARISH." Behind the main statue, a gray concrete wall features bas-reliefs. To the left, a seated figure, presumably the Virgin Mary, is depicted next to two amphora-like objects. To the right, a male figure, likely Saint Joseph as a carpenter, is shown actively working with tools on a wooden structure. Pink bougainvillea with green foliage frames both sides of the scene. A solitary palm frond is visible in the upper left. A potted plant with large, serrated green leaves sits on the paved ground directly in front of the pedestal. A light-colored pole extends vertically on the left side of the frame. The sky above is overcast with scattered clouds. The scene is located within the grounds of Cây Vông Parish in Diên Khánh, Vietnam.
