content: Below is a variation of 1938-88-1302. A circular pedestal bears the inscription, whose beginning is carelessly written. Above it stands an angular base, with the central part of the front projecting. It is decorated with a festoon and upon it sits a variation of the figure in 1938-88-1307, with a cross isntead of the chalice, and with a putto kneeling beside the leg with the medallion. Behind rises a huge round shaft, with an entablature and a triangular cresting. On top is a motif similar to 1938-88-1307.
