This is a statuette with a dosseret, the reverse has a ‘flat’ surface with an original drilling to fix the object against a vertical support. 
The Virgin is standing on a small overhanging terrace, the front of which appears to bear two letters in relief as well as an inscription in orange-red.
There are small chips on the tips of the Virgin's crown, two chips on her arm and hand, another notable chip on the front of the terrace and a few other chips around the lower edge.
