A tall carved stone pillar stands on a stone plinth in a shaded garden of trees and lawn. Its capital bears a circular medallion with a carved scorpion and yellow painted characters around the lotus-like top. The shaft is decorated with carved serpents, a row of figures and foliate motifs, and a small carved image in a niche. No people are visible; a paved path and a stone statue are seen in the background, with a black lamp post in front of the pillar.
