A four-pillar canopy stands over a pedestal bearing an urn. Decorative reliefs include crossed flags on the north side, crossed sabers on the east side, crossed cannons over cannon balls on the south side and crossed rifles on the west side. There are balls on each corner of the roof. The urn has a grape motif. It is not permanently attached and appears to be a later addition.
