The rectangular stele with a pediment of the pseudo-aedicula type is divided into niches with two superimposed registers. The upper register houses the busts of the two spouses, both dressed in tunic and cloak, and is characterized by the shell valve in the background, a presence perhaps connected to the cult of Venus as a funerary and celestial god. The busts of two children are sculpted in the lower register. The specimen lacks the lower right corner and part of the lions that decorated the corners of the tympanum and the crowning of the vertex.
