All figures are dressed in long robes tied at the waist. The Virgin Mary with a maforium on her head, with her arms crossed over her chest. St John is depicted as a young man, with hair down to his shoulders. His hands are folded in a prayer gesture. Mary Magdalene's long hair falls to her shoulders and back. Her right hand touches her face, her left hand is lowered. The cross is set on a plinth, supported on either side by winged putti. First step of plinth with chamfered upper edges.
