label: Description
content: Shown slightly from above. Below is a dodecagonal pedestal, formed by a broad oval with protruding squares in the middles of the ends. It is supported by eight obliquely disposed claws. The covers of the bowls show female genii standing above trophies of arms. Both are blowing trumpets. They hold with their inside hands, the left one a standard, the right one a wreath. In the center rises a monumental column. Below are three steps. A relief is shown in the pedestal. Eagles stand obliquely at the corners beside the base. A scepter and a wreath are fastened by another, a laurel wreath to the shaft. Above stands a general upon a globe which is supported by sitting slaves. Colored background.
