Smithsonian Art Inventory"A tall shaft topped with a figure of a uniformed Confederate soldier standing. He wears a campaign hat and clasps the barrel of his rifle with both hands, the butt resting by his feet. A stump rises behind his proper right leg. The granite shaft is decorated with a Confederate flag on the front, and crossed sabers on the rear. Stone spheres, perhaps granite, are set on the corners of the base below the shaft. The lower section of the base is stepped, and set on a concrete block. The monument is surrounded by an ornate wrought iron fence."
