content: The base is a square plinth, with candelabra at the corners. Above it stands on top of some circular steps a circular building, with slightly projecting doorcases, like the ends of cross arms. Above is an entablature with a triglyph frieze. Inside is the motif of the crown sketched. Above the entablature rise circular steps of diminishing diameters. On top is a pedestal with the figure of a standing woman raising something with her left arm.
