Description
A bundle of three moulded servants rises from a pentagonal, diagonally set plinth topped by a moulded cornice. The central, forward-facing servants are framed on the sides by recessed servants, forming a kind of lisaille. The whole creates the effect of several layers of so-called thick masonry, characteristic of Gothic architecture.
