The front of the plinth features an inscription in carved lettering: "TIL MINDE OM / SÖNDERJYLLANDS / GENFORENING MED / MODERLANDE" (To commemorate Sønderjyllands' reunification with the motherland).

The rear side of the plinth features another inscription in carved lettering: "SKÆNKET STADEN / KÖBENHAVN / AFCARLSBERGFONDET / 1930" (Presented to the city of Copenhagen by the Carlsberg Foundation, 1930).
