Ἀντιγόνα

Unfinished ossuary has inner ledge on two sides, red wash, low feet, and a flat lid resting on the rim. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of line frame at base and sides and a doubled zigzag frame (or frieze) at top, containing two metopes and a broadened triglyph. Triglyph contains a plant with eleven stalks ending in lanceolate leaves; each metope contains a six-petalled rosette within concentric line circles, unfinished on right. Inscription is on the chest's left side. The masculine form of this name, Antigonus, is a common Jewish name of the period, but this seems to be the first local occurrence of the feminine form. It is attested in first-century BCE Egypt in a non-Jewish context.
