Lid from a child's sarcophagus. It is made from marble from Luna in central Italy. The narrow lid has a Pan-mask at each corners, then a satyr (to the left) and the god Dionysus (to the right) reclining. At the centre there are two masks against each other and a cantharus (a drinking vessel with two handles) in front of the mark to the right.
