Foot of a quadrangular box, on the front side a recessed panel with vgétal decoration: acanthus leaf at the base then wavy stem from which are born a flower in chalice, a circular flower with radiating petals and a poppy head. The foot of the pillar is carved in the shape of a fawn's paw with well-detailed claws. On one of the sides and on the back, slots have been made to fit the sides and the bottom.
