Freestanding tomb for a woman. The tomb is characterized by the effigy of a sleeping woman (gisant) placed on top of the tomb, with a crown and two dogs place by her feet. Above the woman's head sits a cherub holding a strapwork panel. Below the image is a Latin inscription made up out of four lines, divided over two columns.
