A weathered metal bas-relief, likely bronze, depicting an allegorical female figure, is centrally positioned. The figure, seen in profile facing right, features hair stylized as grape-like clusters and a subtle nimbus or halo around her head. Her upper torso is bare with prominent breasts. Her left arm (viewer's left, figure's right) is raised, palm open and fingers splayed, while her right arm (viewer's right, figure's left) holds a tall staff or scepter topped with a small, robed human figure holding an orb. Heavy, voluminous drapery falls from her waist, partially obscuring a detailed cityscape with multiple buildings and spires depicted beneath. The background behind the figure is textured. The rectangular relief shows signs of age, including surface variations, patination, and a vertical seam or crack through the drapery. The lower portion of the panel sits atop a separate, curved metal element resembling a stylized laurel wreath with spherical finials at its ends. This artwork is located on the exterior of the Moscow State University (MSU) Main Building on Vorobyovy Gory, Moscow, Russia.
