The ossuary has low feet and a flat, slightly overhanging lid. Ornamentation on the chest's front side consists of a two metopes in zigzag frames, each containing a six-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle. Broadened triglyph contains a plant with base of tiny triangles, ivy-leaf top and eighteen tendrils. The name is inscribed throughout this ornamentation like so: Μ and Α in either of the upper corners of the left metope, and Ρ in the upper right of the rosette therein; Θ and Α in either of the upper corners of the right metopes, with Ϲ in the upper right of the rosette therein.
