POPE ALEXANDER KNEELS ON HIS TOMB, FACING OUTWARD. THE TOMB IS SET ON A LARGE SHROUD DRAPED IN PATTERNED RED MARBLE AND IS SUPPORTED BY FOUR FEMALE STATUES, OF WHICH ONLY THE TWO LOCATED AT THE FRONT ARE FULLY VISIBLE. THEY REPRESENT CHARITY AND TRUTH. THE FOOT OF TRUTH RESTS ON A GLOBE OF THE WORLD, ITS TOE BEING SYMBOLICALLY PIERCED BY THE THORN OF PROTESTANT ENGLAND.
