Sarcophagus of the Satrap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sarcophagus of the Satrap is an ancient marble funerary monument discovered at the Ayaa Necropolis in Sidon, present-day Lebanon, and is believed to originate from the Achaemenid Persian Empire period (the mid-5th century BCE). The reliefs are believed to depict a Persian Satrap, whose body is assumed to have inhabited the tomb.
It holds historical significance for its artistic craftsmanship and cultural insights, particularly the cultural mixing in the area at the time, between Greek, Persian and Levantine cultures.
It is currently at the Istanbul Archaeology Museums.
