The base supports a square body with a concave, scalloped roof. A circular platform tops the body. A smaller circular body sits on top, with a concave scalloped roof and an open center. A second circular platform tops that body. The top body, with a concave scalloped roof and an open center, supports a finial with a bulbous top. Two small straight rulers lie on the surface in front.
