Polyxena Sarcophagus Women Mourning

Polyxena Sarcophagus Women Mourning

View of one of the short sides of the "Polyxena Sarcophagus." On this side of the sarcophagus, one woman is sitting under a barren tree mourning.  The two standing women have their hands over their heads, apparently mourning also.

This sarcophagus was discovered in 1994.  It is dated to 500-490 B.C.
