What I can see

The stele sits on a marble pedestal and on its façade, bears a short dedication to Neophytos Doukas and the donor of the monument, publisher Andreas Koromilas. On the 4 sides of the pedestal, the dedications are more detailed and in an ancient poetic style.
What I can't see
The sculpture was designed by Christian Hansen and is dedicated to the clergyman, scholar and first director of the Rizarios School, Neophytos Doukas (1760-1845).
