She wears a complex earring and he a bracelet of twisted strands. There is no costume visible.

On the long side below the man is a frieze with four pairs of Greeks and Amazons in combat. A bead-and-reel molding appears above, and simple pilasters frame the scenes on the corners. The other side, the long panel below the woman, has only a plain fillet molding above, suggesting it was the back of the sarcophagus proper. The frieze features two pairs of horsemen and foot soldiers in combat, with a warrior in fighting pose on foot in the center.

On the left end (facing the frieze with Greeks and Amazons), two lions bring down a bull. The bead-and-reel molding is seen above. On the right end, two griffins are tearing into a fallen horse.

The condition is, generally speaking, excellent, with some traces of a dark brown deposit and an overall light brown to yellow patina.

The sarcophagus is inscribed for Thanchvil Tarnai and her husband Larth Tetnies, son of Arnth Tetnies and Ramtha Vishnai.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Tomb equipment</schema:artForm><schema:width>93.3000000000 Centimeter</schema:width><schema:width>88.0000000000 Centimeter</schema:width><schema:height>213.8000000000 Centimeter</schema:height><schema:url>http://collections.mfa.org/objects/151377/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></rdf:RDF>
