Description: \r
\r
These three sarcophagus plates are decorated with medi-reliefs of various motifs, especially on the long side: the Medusa's head is combined with trefoils and what appear to be marine animals. The composition, divided into panels separated by fluted columns, has grooved motifs that outline the lower and upper margins. A border with laurel leaves borders the upper part. One of the short sarcophagus panels has the frontispiece of a temple (with columns and tympanum) and the other has cross motifs. \r
