Late 4th century sarcophagus
#9
The life preservers (there is a second person with the same thing on his shoulders more in the background) are obviously bundles of supplies or waterskins carried over the shoulder. Remember these are the people of Israel fleeing across the red sea before pharao's army. Obviously they did not expect any manna and therefore took some supplies with them.
