On one triangular end of the lid is a decoration of a rosette of four leaves enclosed in a circle; on the other end, the same decoration appears above a "tree of life." The inscription is on the rectangular front panel of the sarcophagus lid. Dimensions given refer to the entire lid: "length" measures from base to top edge, and "depth" from front to back of the base. This lid and the one found near it (einn0004), with a Greek transcription, are assumed to be the work of the same craftsman (or workshop).
