Her arms are raised on either side at shoulder level and rest on marble pedestals which flank her. In one hand she holds a wreath of laurel and in the other she holds a wreath of bay. She appears to be resting the wreaths on the heads of two bas-relief figures which decorate the fronts of the marble pedestals. The bas-relief figure on her proper right is that of a Civil War soldier in proper right profile. He wears a uniform and stands at parade rest, holding his rifle in front of his body. The bas-relief figure on her proper left is a Civil War Sailor. He wears a uniform and cap and clasps his hands in front of him. A sword hangs at his hip. He is seen in proper right profile. On the back of the marble memorial is a small bronze lion head fountain above a semi-circular fountain basin. The basin has been filled in with concrete.
