Two fragments of a single decorative niche. The central figures depict Mary, robed and seated, holding the infant Jesus on her right knee. The edges of the seat border the frame, and rise above the two figures in a decorated gothic style, carved in low relief. The head and hands of the infant Jesus are missing, as is Mary's left hand. Her face is considerably weathered.
