TOMB 20 (continuation)Tek

The burial chamber has been built for a mixed form of burial; arcosolia for inhumation in the lower part of the walls and above smaller niches for urns.
In the back wall we find a large apsis-like niche flanked by two small windows.
Both the right and the left wall have a semicircular niche with
a triangular tympanum above.
In the large niches traces of stucco shells can still be seen.
There are also niches in the wall with the entrance.
Tomb 20 originates from 160-170 AD.
