It is made of dressed granite and features incised marble inserts on each side of a square plinth. The plinth has recessed square inserts on each side, which are mostly indecipherable or only partly decipherable. It is topped with a square-edged projecting cap and supports a tall, tapered obelisk that has chamfered corners and a pyramidal head.
