This is a similar photo to Fig. 512 (on page 450, and a reconstruction of the bed and box shown in Fig.513), described by Spinazzola as –

“Letto a spalliera di legno intagliato a doppia fila di rettangoli corniciati (impronte nella cenere), e cassetta sottostante (impronta) Primo cubiculo ad oriente.”

“Carved wooden backrest bed with double row of framed rectangles (impressions in the ash), and box underneath (impression). First cubiculum to the east”.
