Rossettes and Pomegranates. I wish I knew more about this Palatial Mansion.
They found Rossettes on the James Ossuary, "When the museum conservators proceeded to repair the damage, they discovered a carved rosette decoration on the side opposite the inscription. "

Also an ivory pomegranate was found in the Tomb site?
