Each side, except for the back, is decorated similarly. A central flower with four petals emerge from a central stalk, flanked by two rinceaux, terminated on top
   by a crochet, and at bottom by a palm.

   The upper part (tailloir) is rectangular and holds a register of triangles in relief. Some traces of polychromy are still visible.

   This pilaster is a rare testimony of romanesque architectural carving. Carved in a soft limestone, this pilaster is in medium state of conservation.
   The left side still holds vivid carving, while the right side is more worn out.
