Español: Virgen con el Niño, escultura de piedra caliza pintada

La Virgen María, sentada y cubierta con un manto oscuro de capucha forrado en rojo, sostiene al Niño Jesús en su regazo mientras él alcanza una pequeña canasta. Su cabello largo y ondulado enmarca un rostro sereno, y los pliegues tallados muestran pintura en verdes, rojos y dorados apagados.

Português: Virgem com o Menino, escultura de calcário pintado

A Virgem Maria, sentada e envolta em um manto escuro com capuz forrado de vermelho, segura o Menino Jesus no colo enquanto ele estende a mão para um pequeno cesto. Seus cabelos longos e ondulados emolduram um rosto sereno, e as dobras esculpidas exibem pintura em verdes, vermelhos e dourados sóbrios.
