These are stills from the Van Friesland video. They show a bier for the Jesus effigy. They say the bier has the shape of a Venus temple.

Suetonius mentions something similar:

When the funeral was announced, a pyre was erected in the Campus Martius near the tomb of Julia, and on the rostra a gilded shrine was placed, made after the model of the temple of Venus Genetrix; within was a couch of ivory with coverlets of purple and gold, and at its head a pillar hung with the robe in which he was slain.
