TOMB 16 (continuation)

The organisation of the enclosure is the result of the several usages over time. There are arcosolia for inhumation and smaller niches for urns. Many were painted with flower motifs and geometrical figures. In the central niche of the left wall of the enclosure three human figures were depicted, two female figures and one nude, male figure. They could be Heracles and Alcestis or Hermes and Eurydice.

Further on, between the left wall
of the burial chamber and the
southern wall of the enclosure,
is a furnace used for preparing funeral meals.
The whole enclosure was paved with a mosaic
floor below which room was created
for sarcophagi in later times.
