DescriptionFemale saint with long brown hair hanging down over her left shoulder. She wears a long sleeved gray dress with black trim around neck and red and gold cuffs. She wears a short red pleated skirt over a longer brown skirt that goes to the ground, with two brown shoes showing in front. Her arms are extended in front and holding the sides of an apron that is green and gold edging that has green and red leaves and flowers. In the "lap" of the apron are three red apples and three red roses. She stands on a three level base with the top level gold with green leaves in the corners. The next lower level is blue with black lines and the bottom level is brown. Separate from the figure is a monstrance that stands unattached on the front left of the figure. There is a small black cross on the top which sits on a gold star that sits on a four-level pedestal of different shapes in red, brown, and gold.
