A large, ornate stone sarcophagus is displayed in a modern museum setting. The sarcophagus is rectangular and made of light-colored stone, with intricate carvings. The front of the sarcophagus features a relief of a garland with rosettes and fruit, draped between two sculpted ram heads at the corners. Inscriptions are carved into the stone above and below the garland. The sarcophagus rests on a dark, tiered display base. In the background, large windows reveal a bright, modern interior with exposed structural beams and ceiling lights. The walls inside the museum are dark, with three framed displays featuring abstract art or images of objects. Red stanchions with ropes create a barrier around the sarcophagus. This sarcophagus is identified as the "Sarcophagus of the Grieving," dating to the 2nd century AD. It is a significant artifact from the ancient city of Perge, located near Antalya, Turkey. The museum is the Antalya Museum, a major archaeological museum in Antalya.
