Sarcophagus carving

23 Nov 2011 380
This sarcaphagus at the Vatican Museum was ornately carved with scenes of battle. It was probably designed as an above ground last resting place. "The word "sarcophagus" comes from the Greek σαρξ sarx meaning "flesh", and φαγειν phagein meaning "to eat", hence sarkophagus means "flesh-eating"; from the phrase lithos sarkophagos (λιθος σαρκοφάγος). Since lithos is Greek for stone, lithos sarcophagos means 'flesh eating stone'. The word came to refer to a particular kind of limestone that was thought to decompose the flesh of corpses interred within it." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcophagus ODT: White on white AIMG_2382
