Interactive feature not available in single page view (see it in standard view).
This is a very detailed picture, but it is useful as a way into understanding what it is that you are seeing (as well as some things you cannot see that would have been important in the original tomb-chapel).
What are the main features of this fragment?
There are three groups of objects, arranged vertically, separated by greenish horizontal bars with yellow ends, about one-third and two-thirds of the way up the picture, respectively.
