content: Below are steps. A sockle has the general shape of a bank, in which two female allegories sit; below them a festoon hangs at the front. Two more women kneel, adorning the lateral parts of the wall. Backwards rises a pedestal, with a band bearing the inscription around the main part. On top is a variation of 1938-88-1305; the left arm supports a cross. The figure possibly represents a bearded man.
