This is attached to the wall with a hinge and can be closed with a pin. It has the shape of a perpendicular cross-sectional roof, the faintly rising roof shields at the top connecting to a flat part in the shape of a cross. The roof shields are decorated in the form of flat roof tiles, the rows of which are alternately granulated. The upright sides of the lid have a symmetrical tendril ornament, the leaves of which are stylized into palmettes. Eight
