content: The architectural setting is drawn correspondingly to the lower part of that in 1938-88-1339. The sarcophagus stands upon a pedestal, whose front panel is decorated with a relief. Two putti sit in the front of the sarcophagus, raising the central part of a garland. The inscription is intended for the front of the sarcophagus, which is mostly covered by a fringed cloth. On top is a medallion with the bust portrait of a bearded man, supported by two crowned female allegories. The left is sitting, the right kneeling. The latter helps with her right hand; the putti support the crown.
