Tombstone in the form of a cross on a plinth. Cross on a high plinth. The front and back face of the cross framed by a shaft, at the intersection of the arms with a flowing line and a near-arched closure of the side arms and the upper arm. The arms, apart from the lower one, are additionally closed with a strongly stylised form of a three-field cap, edged with a shaft. In its fields, separated by a shaft, stylised relief lilies, carved in various ways. Each field of the cap closed with a carved cataract arch. As a whole, they give the impression of a stylised, three-leaved arm closure. On the upper arm of the cross at the front a relief eye of divine providence. On the horizontal beam inscriptions to the front (1) and rear (2). Plinth in the form of a boulder. Location of gravestone secondary.
