The ends of the tomb are designed with heavy lyre shapes that have acanthus returns and oval cartouche panels. The long sides of the tomb include square inscription panels, although the inscription on the southern side has been obliterated. Flanking the inscription panels are relief designs of lyre ends on the south side and hanging drapery on the north side.
