The dial is surrounded by a garland of laurel leaves and a snake. The large rectangular base supported by a frieze of heart-shaped stripes and flowers is decorated with scenes in low relief representing the key moments in the life of Belisarius. Work of the early 19th century. H. 55 - L. 41,2 - D. 14 cm Missing the balance and the sword. The axe of the lictor beam has been replaced by a vase.
