The basis is quadrilateral, formed by four slabs in white marble, decorated with medallions that sport the symbol on three faces, and two genii (who account for the Turkish name of the column) holding a globe.
The column is topped by a Corinthian capital decorated with aquilas. This is likely a base made to support a statue of Marcian, in imitation of the and the in Rome, both of which were topped by statues of the emperor they commemorated.
