The pedestal is topped by a statue of the goddess Hygeia, the goddess of health, standing in a full-length, sleeveless robe, her hair in a Greek-style bun. She holds a lamp in her raised proper left hand and a pitcher in her proper right hand. The lower part of the pedestal has eight sides with dolphin head fonts. Eight catch basins are located alternately around the bottom of the pedestal directly under the dolphin heads. These nonfunctioning basins are now used as planters. The piece is painted green.
