Summary:
Two open Bibles rest on either side of a triangular-shaped stand. One Bible has text from the Gospel of John on its left page, and a relief of a robed Jesus with a halo kneeling in proper left profile. The other Bible has text from Psalms on its left page, and a bust relief of Jesus emanating rays. Beneath both Bibles are identical inscriptions. On either end of the stand are two rectangular bookend-like features. The majority of the sculpture is mounted on top of a two-stepped base. Sculpture and base are bordered by a short granite wall.
