Ossuary has red wash, low feet, and a gabled lid with fingergrips. Height describes that of chest plus that of lid. Ornamentation on the chest's front side consists of three metopes in zigzag frames, each containing a six-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle, with zigzags overlaying petals and a zigzag frame added above and below the rosettes. The chest's right side has a lattice pattern in red wash, and the back side has the pattern repeated twice. The name, inscribed on the chest's left side, is a common Greek form of the name מרים. A second ossuary from the tomb seems to have been inscribed by the same hand and has similar ornamentation (see inscription "jeru0125").
