An NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series received by Della Reese for her role in "Touched by an Angel" at the 27th iteration of the award ceremony. The award is a kneeling nude male form with his arms stretched above his head, holding the earth in his hands. The silver metal figure is mounted to a two-tiered round black base. The larger of the two bases has a metal plate attached almost all the way around that reads: [27th NAACP Image Awards / Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series / DELLA REESE / "Touched By An Angel"] The upper portion of the tiered base is cracked around the figure's knees and next to the PL knee. Some scratches throughout base. The lower portion of the tiered base is chipped at the front, above the word "Image" on the plaque.
