This sarcophagus is very similar to those of the Egyptian 25th and 26th Dynasty. The Phoenecians became steadily more influenced by the Egyptians on account of heavy trading activity. The stone had to be imported from Egypt and was probably carved there except for the final inscriptions.
Object in the Louvre in Paris. |
