Description: Fragments of two different sarcophagi found together. Sarcophagus Fragments F098 and F099are nearby with many worked blocks. Possibly associated with Tomb B055, but might be associated with another tomb. ** Sarcophagus A. Preserves entire sarcophagus bottom and small portions of front and short sides. ** The front left corner preserves the base of a column and the lower drapery of a female figure wearing a long chiton; a large section of missing decoration follows. Toward the right are three column bases, the feet of two male figures, and the lower drapery of a female figure wearing a long chiton and shoes. On the left short side are the bases of two columns with a female figure between them, preserving lower drapery and shoes. On the right short side are the bases of three columns; between them are two female figures preserving lower drapery of chiton and shoes. The back appears to be undecorated.
