The burial chamber is organized as a columbarium
with a central aedicula, flanked by small niches, alongside every
wall. The back-wall is completely occupied by a large arch.
The grave was richly decorated with stucco above a cornice
imitating marble. In the rectangular niches we see flying swans
with flowers and ribbons in their bills. In the tympanum of
the aedicula to the right of the entrance a flying eagle is depicted.
The ceiling also is very interesting for its stucco surfaces with
painted scenes, including lion-hunting scenes.
On the floor, made of white mosaic, were benches occupying
the space beneath the niches alongside the left and back-wall.
These too were decorated.
