The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce mausolée a la forme d'un polygone irrégulier. Il est couvert d'une coupole et présente une petite table qui renferme un sarcophage dont le couvercle porte en bas-relief un buste couché, les bras à hauteur de la tête. Les côtés sont ajourés chacun de deux arcades aveugles qui ont dû être fermées plus tard. Deux colonnes accostent les jambages et un boudin contourne le cintre.

History
This mausoleum has the form of an irregular polygon. It is covered with a dome and presents a small table which encloses a sarcophagus whose cover bears in bas-relief a reclining bust, the arms at the height of the head. The sides are each perforated with two blind arcades which must have been closed later. Two columns flank the jambs and a roll moulding surrounds the arch.
