Description of the monument
The column with the statue, facing the northeast, is set in a concrete podium with a rectangular floor plan. The base of the column has the shape of a block oriented vertically and finished with a profiled, horizontally extended cornice. The front side of the pedestal shaft is divided by a rectangular mirror with concave cut corners. In the area of the mirror there is an engraved eight-line Latin inscription, which informs about the origin of the statue, its consecration and donors.

(Translation: Our Lady and the Sorrows for the wrongs of all mankind were consecrated by Jozef Martin Škoda in 1756.) The pedestal bears a pillar composed of a heel, a stem and a head. The round heel, placed on a square plinth, consists of a groove between a pair of arches. The transition of the heel to the shaft is formed by a strip.
The smooth stem of the circular cross-section with entase is terminated by the Tuscan head, which consists of a spasm (so-called epitrachelium, composed of two arches with a strip and a groove between them), echinus and abacus.
