(From the Smithsonian Institute Art Inventory Page):
A moustached Confederate sentinel wears a wide-brimmed campaign hat and stands at rest holding his rifle with butt to ground in front of him. His proper left hand is above his proper right hand, both on the barrel. A blanket roll is above his proper left shoulder and tied at his proper right hip. The soldier wears a waist-length jacket with a high collar, and has a bayonet and scabbard with canteen to the rear at his proper left hip. A canteen strap goes over his proper right shoulder. A tree trunk raises to thigh level at the rear of the soldier's proper right leg. The soldier is mounted upon a rough-hewn granite shaft set on a stepped base. Relief carvings adorn the midsection of the base. On the right side there is a relief of a Confederate battle flag draped across a staff; on the rear there is a relief of crossed flags on staffs; on the left side there is a relief of vertical percussion rifles.
