| Description |
The facade is 6.25 m. high, 5.25 m. wide, and is higher than the roof. The predominant color on the facade up to the level of the capitals of the Ionic half-columns is white; this is the final thin layer of lime-plaster which was used according to the prevailing custom to cover the surface of the poros blocks, which was full of holes, and make it look like marble. From the level of the capitals upwards a variety of colors is used, the predominant ones being shades of red and blue applied to the individual decorative elements: Ionic and Doric moldings, frieze, taeniae, astragals, Lesbian moldings, and alternating palmettes and lotus flowers, which adorned the raking and horizontal cornices of the tympanum of the pediment and the Ionic architrave. The pediment on the facade is crowned by three windblown palmettes with a strong chiaroscuro effect. The tomb has two funerary chambers with a vaulted roof at two different levels.
