Bronze peace-bearer with an S-shaped handle on the back made of the same material and a decoration in light relief on the front showing, beneath an architectural composition with a clear classicist influence (a semicircular arch with a scallop shell inside and scrolls outside, two pillars with vegetal decoration and a base with heraldry), the Virgin Mary with the Child, accompanied by two angels and placed on a pedestal on which a legend can be seen (AVEREGINA/CELOUM?, in allusion to the Marian antiphon Ave Regina Caelorum, typical of the time of Lent).
