The column rests on a tall, multi-part, graduated base, the uppermost portion consisting of a polyhedron platform with a simple, central band of palmettes. Below is a large fluted, bell-shaped form with projecting cascading scrolls at the ribs, which in turn rests on a polyhedron plinth with rectangular marble insets.
