Fragment of the lid of a marble sarcophagus: The part that corresponds to the shoulders is smooth, but the face is only represented by a roughly hewn boss, with tool marks clearly visible. The face was apparently meant to be carved at the sarcophagus' final destination. The inside of the lid is roughly hewn, but the rim is complete and its tenon finished to fit the kidney of the coffin. It is unclear how this small fragment came to be found in the ancient cemetery of Paros without the rest of the face and with no traces of a coffin. It is quite possible that it was reused in a secondary context and that it is a fragment from a lid that was broken while it was being carved; the breaks seem to be old.
