The ground plan of a rectangular tomb is shown. Two graves, in the centre of two adjacent sides, are open and the bones inside are shown; the equivalent positions on the other sides are covered with flag-stones. In the centre is a mosaic, on which a fish is surrounded by floral tendrils. There are smaller mosaics in the corners, diagonally opposite corners matching: their subjects are a peacock and a griffin, each standing on a floral tendril.
