The base features an inscription that reads "HUGH PERCY/DUKE OF/NORTHUMBERLAND/ANNO/MDCCCXIIII" on the north side, with a lion, a lion on a crown, and the Percy crescent depicted on the other sides. Above this is a quatrefoil shaft with a stepped foot, three moulded rings, and a moulded cap topped with a plain cross.
