This paper is focused on the study and analysis of the original decoration incompletely preserved on three fragments nos. 1, 2 and 3 of the exterior surface of the lid. The identification and interpretation of the damaged and partly preserved remains of the original decorative motifs and inscriptions will be described and compared with the available analogies. This study can significantly help us to contribute to the reconstruction of the original decoration of the coffin and its typological classification including its dating. Some of the details of the preserved motifs identified and described on the surface of the coffin lid have not been mentioned and published before.
