On the left triangular end of the lid is a decoration of a rosette of six leaves enclosed in a circle; above it is a "tree of life" (or menorah?). 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 (einn0003), with an Aramaic transcription, are assumed to be the work of the same craftsman (or workshop).
