Similar to the classical antiquity, the majority of architectonic members were made of marble imported from Prokonnesos; Cherson received them as finished articles.

On tall supporting columns in the centre of the hall there are marble capitals from early Christian churches of Cherson.

In the recessed niche (or apse) there are other marbled architectonic members from church interiors: altar rail, miniature capitals and pillars, and fragments of openwork gratings and cornices.

In the middle of the hall, on a low podium there are mosaic floor fragments from the churches of Cherson.

To make mosaic floors of Cherson, there used fine cubic blocks of fired clay and natural stone such as marble, sandstone and limestone.

The mosaics that decorated walls had a different look.
