On the obelisk there is relief image of King Tomislav and an inscription in Croatian: U spomen hiljadugodišnjice prvog hrvatskog kralja Tomislava (925–1925) podigoše Hrvati sela i grada Livna. (In the memory of the thousand anniversary of the first Croatian king Tomislav (925–1925) raised Croats of villages and the town of Livno.)
