The relief carving is a rectangular slab of stone inscribed with symbols, text, and the date "1754" at the bottom center. The upper section displays stylized imagery, initials forming "J. S. H.," and indistinct text "A. JDIC. DAN. HCH." The sculpture is a muted gray color, with a rough, weathered surface, suggesting it is made of granite or limestone.
