Summary:
A commemorative plaque is installed on a pyramidal base. The plaque is a relief with two male figures in profile, flanking a shield-like form, possibly a stretched animal hide, which contains the text. The figure on the left wears a large backpack and stands with his proper left foot on a stone. The figure on the right wears what appears to be a military uniform with hat and coat with tails. Both figures hold long-barreled guns at the top with the butts at their feet. The back surface of the plaque simulates a log cabin.
