The sarcophagus is divided into three arched compartments by four plain columns. In the left arch stand a draped man and woman. She has her head covered and holds a large box. He holds an unclear object. In the centre a draped couple, the woman with her head covered and the man holding a roll, clasp their hands together. A nude putto holding a flaming torch stands between them. On left a bearded man on left gestures to a youth who stands facing the spectator, holding a roll.
