content: Situated in a huge niche, with a coffered conch above the entablature. Below are eleven columns in a segment supporting seemingly an entablature with ornamented frieze. Above it rise two similar ones, one somewhat shorter than the other. The central one is decorated with festoons, the upper one indistinctly. Above the central part of the upper one rises what is seemingly a frieze. Upon it stands the pipe case, in shape of a canopy.
