Ossuary has inner ledge on three sides and a flat, sliding lid. The name is inscribed on a narrow side of the chest (left or right), inverted. It is more common to find inverted words on the inside of an ossuary, inscribed vertically; this inscription may have been executed by the person who sealed the ossuary, standing above the chest and writing from that angle. Another ossuary from the tomb bears the name "Yehosef, son of Sha'ul" and may belong to the deceased's son (see inscription "jeru0206").
