Summary:
A female stands beside a square column at her proper left with head turned downward and arms around an urn that rests at the top of the column. The female figure is barefoot and is dressed in long drapery that covers her head. A woven basket overflowing with fruit rests next to the column. On the front of the column is the Baldwin family crest in relief. It consists of a squirrel in profile sitting on its haunches holding an acorn in its front paws and, below this, a shield containing three oak leaves. The sculpture is mounted on a low two-tiered base.
