Upon the platform stands upon a high square vase, a slightly altered variation of the design of the second and higher stories in -1263. Burning lamps stand upon the entablature of the lower pedestals. A sarcophagus stands in front of the vase and the lower part of the lower pedestal. A sarcophagus stands in front of the vase and the lower part of the lower pedestal. It is carried by courching lions, shown in profile, and two figures lie upon the cover.
