content: The foot consists of a pedestal showing the animals of the Evangelists, and a cherub over an inscription "EVANGELUS." A capital stands on the pedestal, beside the foot of which two angels sit, holding three nails and the Sudarium, respectively. The shaft consists of a balaster, around part of which is wound a vine garland. Two flying angels, on top, hold the cloud glory which with cherubim surrounds the circular frame of the receptacle, which shows a row of stars. God the father stands in the top center. A cherub is at the bottom of the receptacle. A glory of rays forms the background. Some slight sketches are near the right edge.
