content: The architectural setting is the same as in 1938-88-1295, but a niche in the wall is suggested. In front of the pedestal stands the sarcophagus, whose fringed cloth is held up by two putti. The pedestal has several offsets. On top of the statue of the kneeling ruler is classical attire. Below it is a festoon, supported by two sitting putti. The decoration of the couch is sketched.
