A pyramid-shaped monument with a caricatured portrait in profile of Wolfe; the plinth engraved with the text: 'Set honour in one eye and death in tother and I will look on both indifferent and let the gods so speed me as I love the name of honour more than I fear death.' At the foot of the monument lies a dead lion with the words 'Here lies honour' engraved on its hind leg. A dog with a collar labelled 'Minden' (an allusion Lord George Sackville's disgrace at the Battle of Minden) turns back and barks at the image: 'Honours a jest & all things show it.
