at the corner of the left side (Fig. 59). The upturned neck <strong>and</strong> the ear of the<br />

animal is visible, although the figure is not as complete as that on the front side.<br />

The left short side has the same acroterial decoration as the right short<br />

side, the lion bodies at the corners of the chest, <strong>and</strong> the floral patterns on both<br />

acroteria of the gabled pediment (Fig. 31).<br />

4.4.5 Right side<br />

There is a need to describe the architectural decoration of the right side<br />

under a separate heading because of the placement of the tomb portal here, which<br />

necessitated a different arrangement (Fig. 27). The tomb portal is in front of a<br />

triangular pediment that rests on two columns. Over the straight moulded lintel of<br />

the door is scroll work bounded above by a b<strong>and</strong> of dentils from above. Above<br />

the dentils is an inverse “U” shaped straight moulded element. Above this is<br />

another b<strong>and</strong> of scroll work, this time projecting, <strong>and</strong> a straight narrow boundary<br />

at the top of it. Then the usual architrave starts, a b<strong>and</strong> of lesbian cyma <strong>and</strong> egg<br />

moulding. The b<strong>and</strong> is interrupted by a scallop shell in the middle of the aedicula.<br />

There are five drill holes at equal intervals at the base of the scallop shell (Fig.<br />

56). The egg mouldings are not surrounded by leaf patterns this time, but with a<br />

three-armed dart pattern on the right <strong>and</strong> left of the shell (the pattern on the left of<br />

the shell is damaged). On top of these b<strong>and</strong>s is a pediment with a dentil b<strong>and</strong> at<br />

the bottom. Inside the triangle of the pediment, there are two egg mouldings side<br />

by side. The triangle is again bordered by dentils on the inside. The pediment<br />

terminates at the top with tendrils <strong>and</strong> a straight moulding. The acroteria are<br />

foliate, as is the case with the gabled pediments on the other sides.<br />
