It includes an "egg"-style container in the lower row, although unfortunately the bottom part is very damaged.
The rest of the crypt paintings are also interesting: they feature scientific/cosmological drawings and diagrams for which parallels are found in manuscript rather than fresco art. Each of the four elements is associated with a number (referencing a passage in Plato's Timaeus). The zodiac sequence is unfortunately lost. But certainly these aspects are OT for this thread.
ETA: JKP our posts crossed. I don't see "finials" on any of the jars except the middle one in the bottom row. But then again due to the damage it is hard to really ascertain the details of the lower row.
ReneZ: haha I know what you meant with the microscopes!
