A large Roman sarcophagus with strigilla S-shaped grooves forming a central medallion, decorated with a standing, thoughtful shepherd leaning on a shepherd's staff pedum. On the front sides are figures presumed to be the deceased, standing against draped fabrics parapetasmata: on the left, a woman in a tunic and long cloak palla holding a scroll volumen in her left hand; on the right, a man in a tunic and toga with a contabulatio specially wrapped hem shaped like a belt, holding a scroll in his left hand and wearing calcei or military-style leather boots. Both frontal figures have incompletely finished heads. The side walls show reliefs of a seated griffin with a lion's head; the left wall near its lower left corner has an opening into the interior, and the lower left corner of the right wall is missing. The rear wall is rather carelessly worked. Noticeable abrasions and damage, particularly to corners and the figures on both sides of the front wall. c. 270 CE, Roman Empire. Sarcophagus Roman. Height 100 cm, width 214 cm, depth 100 cm, weight 2400 kg., The image shows a carved stone relief with a standing robed figure on the left and a winged lion-like creature on the right; the figure wears draped garments with folds and holds part of the robe with one hand while standing on a small base, and the creature has detailed wings, a mane, and a curled tail. The visible colors are shades of pale gray and off-white in the stone against a neutral gray background.
