The pediment features a semicircular niche with a sculpture inside, and an inscription etched into its front. Atop the pediment is a sculpture of an owl. The base has a row of six stone sphinxes lying down along its front, with a stone bust of a person wearing a headdress on the right end. The background shows a large vaulted archway made of stone blocks. The overall scene is rendered in shades of gray, suggesting an aged or weathered appearance.
