Freestanding funeral monument shaped like an encased tomb. The encasing structure is decorated with birds (of prey?) and a frieze made up out of triglyphs and blank coats of arms in the metopes. The monument is crowned by a classical portico supported by Corinthian pillars. Below the image is a Latin inscription made up out of four lines, divided over two columns.
