The most famous of the Govan stones, the sarcophagus represents a rare monument type in early medieval Scotland prior to the 12th century AD. It was rediscovered in the churchyard by a gravedigger in 1856 and was moved into the church in 1908. It is decorated with a hunting scene, different arrangements of interlaced beasts, and six panels of interlace, some of which appear to be interlaced snakes. It is not known what the lid might have looked like, but two complete drainage holes in the base of the monument (and the worn surfaces surrounding them) suggest that the sarcophagus originally acted as a coffin for the remains of a royal saint, but later functioned as a reliquary.

A model of Queen Jadwiga's sarcophagus

Fragments of a sarcophagus, 150-175 CE, Asia Minor, marble. Musée du Cinquantenaire (Brussels, Belgium). Made with ReMake and ReCap from Autodesk.

A robust wild boar rushes to Anchee, while Meleager is brandishing a lance with his arm. Behind the boar of Calydon, Theseus is about to strike him with a stick. On the upper edge and in the field, a later epitaph is engraved in bad characters of the third century: "I have received the tomb ... and the columns" and "¨ [This tomb belongs to] Markos Aurélios Anikétos. 'One, by violence, comes to place some other [body, he will suffer a punishment].'

Fragments of a sarcophagus

Based on ancient Egyptian pharaohs. I see Nefertari as being a somewhat strict, but fair queen who tries her best to watch out for her people.
Included in this set are Nefertari in both her usual attire and as a mummy. Also included are a crook and flail along with her sarcophagus.
These models are fully rigged. Feel free to use them how you like!

Located in Strade Dominican friary (MA070-067001-), one of a group of five floriated graveslabs standing upright attached to the internal face of the south wall of the friary chancel. Tapered graveslab with floriated cross measuring 1.19m long by 0.39m wide that served as the lid of a medieval stone coffin/sarcophagus.  The surface of the slab is worn, but the outline of a long cross fleury carved in low relief extending almost the full length of the slab is visible.   Greek crosses rise from the terminals of the diagonal arms which represent the Crucifix and may represent a version of the Lily Crucifix.  Wavy diagional line near cross base has flowering terminals topped with a Greek cross.  Carving is best viewed in Matcap render. Flowering cross based on the Tree of Life.  In Christian theology, the crucifixion of Jesus transforms the cross from a "tree of death" into a new "Tree of Life," reversing the fall of humanity in Eden.

Strade Abbey Graveslab MA070-067009-

A limestone fragment identified by John Bradly as part of a sarcophagus (compare the [nearly intact one at the Black Abbey](https://skfb.ly/pHoWt) with trefoil arches) with two arched niches missing their head and a half quatrefoil on the left. The HEV describes one with ogee headed arches and a quatrefoil on the right, but maybe they mean this one, which is why I'm giving its SMR number below.

Compare also to a [similar fragment at Jerpoint Abbey](https://skfb.ly/pvIpv), and there are similar ones at Gowran Collegiate Church (not yet scanned).

St Mary's: sarcophagus fragment

One of five floriated tapered graveslabs set upright against the internal face of the south wall of the chancel of Strade Dominican Friary (MA070-067001-), Co. Mayo. Broken tapered cross-slab grave-cover which served as the lid of a stone coffin/sarcophagus.  Only the lower half of a cross-fleury carved in low relief with raised border running along edge of the stone.  The base of the cross has a fleur-de-lis or lily flower terminal consisting of acentral teardrop shaped projection flanked on either side by curling leaves. Vertical line in central teardrop may represent the stamen of the flower head.  Vertical groove running along centre of cross-shaft.  Floriated cross possibly symbolising the flowering lily known in French as the Fleur-de-Lys/Flower of the Lily.  The lily, is a  symbol of the Virgin Mary often appearing in art representing the Annunciation.  Associated with Resurrection & Easter & the triumph of Christ over death.
