Each column rests on a support which is in a triangular shape with a lion's paw foot. Each corner is embellished with an enamel medallion (white Maltese cross on a field of Royal Blue). The two side panels repeat this same medallion. The back panel as a gilded bronze rosette at the center. There are twelve (a number with much religious symbolism) cabochon glass stones (red and green).
There is a flat brass panel on the top of the frame. The original handmade crimson velvet cushion (hand sewn with a red fabric backing) fits to measure atop the panel. It measures: 12" x 12" corner to corner edge; at the flat points, 10" x 10". It is 5" tall. The Paschal medallion measures 2" x 2". It is in very good antique condition: The stones are all present.
