Display category description in static archive page

I am using the code found in the following link to display categories as static pages:

Is there a way to display a category description inside a block? Maybe through a shortcode?
Hi George,
Something like this?

Something like this but for a static page, I am not using a header, I am using static page archives. The shortcode doesn't do anything. And Tom's code has an error, a ' next to term_id that brings down the site.
Hi there,
you would need to use term_description function and pass it the ID of the category/tag you need to display:

Got it, thanks, David!
You're welcome
