It is made of limestone ashlar and features sunken square panels, although the inscriptions are illegible. The tomb is adorned with enriched pilasters, a moulded plinth, and a cornice. This chest tomb is part of a notable collection of local and classical tomb designs and significantly enhances the setting of the church.
