Jesus stands wearing a sacred heart at his chest, dressed in a full-length gown with a blanket draped over his proper left shoulder, back and arm. He has long, wavy hair and a beard. His arms are down, with palms open in a receiving position. The sculpture is mounted on an altar-like base with three levels, some of which are painted terra cotta. Two terra cotta pots rest on top of the base on either side of the sculpture.
