Parallelepiped-shaped sarcophagus decorated in bas-relief on the front, indicating that it was made in order to be stuck to the wall. The decoration consists of strigiles in the shape of a stylised "s", with two pilasters at the ends, which are fluted and finished off with Corinthian column caps; in the centre, there is an almond shaped medallion with representations of a lamb and a laurel tree. There is a gabled lid with acroteria in the corners and five transversal vein structures finished off with antefixes.
