content: Steps, leading up to a platform, are bordered laterally by pairs of figures lying or leaning against some object, and by bowls with fires, standing upon four legs. In the center rises a high pedestal with a relief in its front panel and with figures standing upon the entablature. A sarcophagus is on top from which an obelisk rises, having a medallion portrait at the front and a knob as a point. Slightly colored background. Some lines are drawn over an unfinished sketch of a plan.
