TOMB 16 (continuation) 
              
              
 The central niche on the right side had a Dionysian 
                painting too: two men with sheep-hooks  
              over their shoulder. Unfortunately, this one has been preserved 
              badly. 
                On the ground lies a fallen basket from which a snake has crawled. 
                 
              The painting is completed by a goat with raised forelegs.  
                In this niche too was a peacock in the upper part.  
              In the niches next to the central niche, analogous to the niches 
               
                on the opposite wall, two women have been painted.  
              One of them is the third Fate carrying a balance.  
              The attributes of the other woman are not so clear. She could be 
               
              Fortuna, often depicted next to the Fates. Of this last painting 
               
                little has been preserved.
