The high-relief figure of a beardless man wears a knee-length pleated tunic with waist-belt, puffed sleeves with tight buttoned cuffs and a wide skirt with traces of a herringbone pattern. The shoulders appear to be covered by a separate garment above the tunic, and its high neck finishes in a scalloped edge with small serrations. There is a prominent roll above the ears, which may represent the lower edge of the 'pudding-bowl' haircut fashionable in the middle of the fifteenth century or 'Burgundian hat'. The right hand grasps the end of the waist-belt, as on military effigies, and the feet rest on a similar ledge. At the top of the slab is an inverted Lombardic inscription.
