An exterior architectural relief, likely carved from light-colored stone, is affixed to a building facade in Barcelona, Spain, specifically the Casa Miquel Pérez building at Carrer de la Boqueria, 12. The central feature is an ornate, curvilinear escutcheon or cartouche with intricate rococo-style scrollwork and a decorative crown, flanked by two winged cherubic figures (putti). The left cherub, depicted in profile, faces right and clutches the escutcheon's left edge. The right cherub, facing slightly left, grasps the escutcheon's right edge. A grey pigeon with iridescent neck feathers is perched on the upper back of the right cherub, facing right. Above the central escutcheon, a portion of another figure or elaborate carving is visible. The relief is mounted on a wall constructed of irregularly shaped stone blocks. Partial carved lettering reading "MIQUEL PEREZ" is visible on the wall to the left of the sculpture. Below the main relief, additional architectural ornamentation, including corbels and ledges, is present, with some small vegetation growing in crevices. Anti-bird spikes are visible on a ledge directly above the sculpture. The stone displays signs of weathering and discoloration.
