Yellowish-white sandstone, now with a tint of green on its surface, rectangular in shape

Broken at the lower left and right corner. The front surface is smoothed except for its bottom which seems to have been left unwrought

Remains of a previous text are visible at the upper part of the tombstone

Big letters of shallow incision, painted over in thick red colour, which is mostly faded in the first two lines. The lettering is of mediocre quality, with characters of unequal size not quite straightly aligned
