Monolithic altar in the form of a column. The shaft has a fluted circular cross-section, finished with a decoration of ovals. At its base it widens in the shape of a plinth. The upper part is framed by two scrolls, of which only one remains. On the top, traces of lead sheet and a deep depression can be seen.
