Description: Three fragments of two different sarcophagi found in two different field walls on either side of a path. Long and short sides are difficult to discern from each other, so width and depth are arbitrary. ** Sarcophagus A. Two fragments of a half-finished garland sarcophagus with vertical rectangular support figures on the corners, garlands, and circular lunettes in rough boss form. ** (1.) Corner fragment preserving small parts of one long and one short side. Part of upper lip preserved, bottom molding broken away. ** Roughly finished with small point chisel. Vertical corner support and the beginnings of a garland swag on each panel. ** (2.) Corner fragment preserving small parts of one long and one short side, point chisel finish. ** The more fully preserved side has a vertical corner support, half a garland swag, and half a round boss in the lunette. The less-preserved side has a vertical corner support and the beginning of a garland swag.
