On the right a tall draped statue stands on a projecting plinth, wearing a long flowing garment with deep folds and holding a wrapped object near the chest; the figure's face is turned slightly upward and is covered at the top by a head cloth. To the left of this figure is a column with a molded capital supporting an arch; beneath the arch are two smaller carved figures in ornate robes, one wearing a crown and the other with a hooded mantle, both standing on a decorated base and flanked by carved foliage and scrollwork. Above the smaller figures an arched niche frames elaborate floral and foliate relief carving. The stone surfaces show varied shading and surface texture, with shadows accentuating the folds of the drapery and the carved ornamentation. The whole scene is bordered by the plain edge of the mounting.
