A column of cannelures stands on a rectangular, jointed plinth, over a stand enframed by a brown line. The stand is rectangular, with cut corners, imitating the ground, the column is crowned with a polychrome cloud and two floating putti. At the front and back, the middle of the column is decorated with an unpainted oval medallion with a gold frame. The putti hold garlands of leaves, which end in the hands of two female figures at the foot of the column. One of the women is shown face-on, while the other turns her back. One is dressed in white, decorated with scattered green and red flowers and lined with purple, whereas the other wears a white dress with blue spots, lined with yellow and red. The mark of the Ludwigsburg manufacture appears on the bottom.
