According to Boyce, there was a heavy masonry ledge above
the panel painted to represent a block of red and yellow variegated marble,
bordered in red.
It was supported by twin scrolls and ornamented with
several bands of stucco relief.
On the masonry ledge were the bases of four delicate
half-columns, two on each side of an arched niche.
A heavy gable roof used to project from the wall.
Within the niche a polychrome stucco cornice runs around
the middle of the walls, dividing them into sections, the upper one painted red,
the lower one painted blue.
On the blue background of the lower section are human
figures in stucco relief – now poorly preserved.
The arched ceiling is fitted with a shell of stucco.
Around the curve of the arch on the wall outside runs another stucco cornice.
