content: A fluted cup with a foot stands upon the shaft. Above it is a pedestal with the escutcheon for a prelate’s coat-of-arms in front. Above kneel two angels beside the façade of a church with a closed door. In front of the house is a papal coat-of-arms, possibly that of Clement XIII (1758-1736). Garlands hang from the entablature.
