The inlays of polychrome faience and stone were a beautiful complement to the walls adorned with mosaics and the Egyptian alabaster floor. Differently patterned rosettes alternate with lotus blossoms and petals.
The stepped limestone platforms, decorated with inlaid flower motifs, probably came from the palace of Ramses III in Tell el-Yahudiye (Leontopolis).
