- The lower pedestal is high rectangular with a low base, the height of which is indicated as "3/4"; so is that of the fluted frieze. Laterally are fluted pillars with masks instead of capitals. For the inside of the framed panel a filling with marble seems to be intended. The upper pedestal is broad rectangular. In its panel are two sitting putti with a book. The height of its plinth and of its entablature is given as "5", so is its upper width. The height of the lower pedestal is "7". Usual background.
