Notes:


rectangular sarcophagus with clipeus held by winged genii; on the sides couples of eros and psyche (beginning of 3rd century a.d.). flat slab top, maybe medieval. reused for gallo dell’angnello, operaio dell’opera del duomo (1284 – 1292).

Cattle, a horse, and perhaps a chariot or cart with a bound horse on it?
