Above it sit two winged female putti, of which the left blows a trumpet, in front of the panel of a pedestal, upon which two women lean upon the shoulder of an urn. The decoration of the niche is indicated. Beside at left is a plan as in 1938-88-1343. At right in inverse direction: a variation of 1938-88-1339, the niche being indicated. Below is a pedestal, with a broad projecting central part. The sarcophagus is similar to 1938-88-1295. The women at right carries a branch in her left hand. The putto above is sitting. The outlines of an oblong above belong to the design at left, indicating the next intercolumniation. Below, in horizontal direction: the architectural setting is imilar to 1938-88-1339, with panels instead of the frieze and the niche. The scheme of the monument is similar to 1938-88-1298. Two female allegories sit upon the pedestal in front of the lower part of the sarcophagus. The right one supports a shield or a medallion. A third sits upon the cover.
