The bust represents a bishop; a middle-aged man; with a shaved face; curly hair reaching down to the neck; and a few strands that rise above the forehead just below the miter. The miter; which is covered from above; is adorned with bands that are arranged both along the edges and across the centers towards the miter points. They feature engraved tendrils ornament or trimmed with cast sheet metal. In the thus created surface division; two rosettes with three large and three small leaves are embossed against an engraved hatched background and engraved on the front; two small rosettes on the sides and two stylized leaves on the back. Two slips are hinged to the rear of the miter. At the transition from bust to pedestal there is a border with four steps. Around the neck is a loose engraved and beaten machined band; which is attached to the chest with a six-pointed rosette. The wide octagonal base has a structure; which at the bottom consists of vertical surfaces; then concave and narrowing upwards and inclined at the top. In the concave section there are five stones in gilded copper frame: in the middle an oval chalcedony (?); On the far left and left a blue and a green stone or piece of glass.
