#2
It's part of the so called, Amazonensarkophag, dates around 320 BC, made of marble hight 91,4 cm, broad 264,8 cm, depth 104 cm. It stands in the Antikenabteilung in the Kulturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The top cover was not detected.
It was detected in 1557 at Soloi at the northern coast of Cypros and went to Venice in the year 1558. In the first half of the 17th century it was buied by the house of Habsburg from the trading house Fugger in Augsburg, Bavaria.

The frieze was originally painted and shows an Amazonomachia.
