A ceramic Virgen Madonna holding a sword that was bisque fired and painted with acrylic (possibly tempera paint). She is wearing a blue and purple cape. Underneath her cape, she wears a bright red blouse or dress with a golden leaf pattern painted on it. She is holding a golden goblet in her left hand with a red star protruding from the cup. In her right hand she is holding a sword (may be a dagger) against her that has a golden handle. Her crown is painted to look like bricks on the top of her head and resembles part of a castle tower.
