TOMB 16 (continuation)

On the entrance wall of the burial chamber we can still see the place where originally an inscription was attached. Unfortunately the inscription has got lost.
On both sides of the door is a dolphin cut out of tuff.
The burial chamber is equipped for a mixed form of burial. There are arcosolia in the lower parts of the walls and large niches flanked by smaller ones for urns in the upper parts.
The floor, now in a bad condition, had a mosaic with a marble border.
The mosaic depicted flowers and amphorae.
