TOMB 34 (continuation)
The entrance of the burial chamber lies in one line with the entrance
of the enclosure.
In front of the burial chamber is a round well surrounded
by a black-and-white mosaic.
The well itself was kept free and had a decorated border.
The rectangular main part of the mosaic shows in the angles bushes,
flowers and birds. In the central medallion we see a bearded head
from the time of Hadrian, allegorically representing a river or
ocean.
The mosaic with the well was covered by a small colonnade of
four tiny columns. During a later period this colonnade was closed
by walls between the columns. The front side was kept open
and a threshold was placed on the floor to give the impression
that
this was the entrance to the burial chamber.
