A muted brown stone sculpture depicts a column top with a flared rim and thick, circular base. Dense clusters of curved leaves project from the top edge, while stylized leaf motifs extend from the center and sides. Vertical, textured lines cover the body, which tapers slightly between the foliage. The heavy foundation supports the ornate structure, showcasing a weathered finish throughout.
