Pharoahs

A large red granite lid of sarcophagus. There are three images of people carved into the granite, standing up. The central figure is male and protrudes from the lid, facing the viewer. His arms are crossed across his chest and he wears a beard, headpiece, and crown of feathers and horns. The two women either side of him face him and have their hands on his waist. The lid is broken on the right, and the side and the feet have been filled in in white plaster.
