Description:

The plan is at the bottom of the elevation. From a pedestal rises a semi-circular column, upon which Religion and Faith is seated. At the bottom of the column stands an urn, which is covered by a mourning woman. A genius of death is at right. The elevation suggests a niche as the setting. The plan suggests a protrusion from oblique walls.
