A female figure with outstretched arms and wings stands on a globe, holding a wreath with both hands. A representation of 'Peace Crowning the Heroes', she is dressed in an elaborate, windswept chiton, which flutters out behind her, exposing her bare feet. She stands on top of a slender obelisk with projecting side piers and a pulvinated roll on the upper stage, with a sword entwined with a wreath, carved on the topmost block on the front face. The carved wreath matches the one held by the figure.
