Wish I knew. Unfortunately, like most images I collected during my 7 dissertation years, I barely had any time to even quickly surf & download, only recorded the item's details (when available).
From it's appearance, I wonder if it's part of a sarcophagus.

Quote:I stumbled across a great academic image website, includes some Roman period Jewish art & architecture images.
I'm downloading like crazy (now recording website links for credits) while it's still open. Here today may be gone tomorrow!
After I finish, I'll provide more details. Most images are large, may exceed R.A.T. pixel &/or Byte size limits... If so, I'll check with Jasper on more posting options, or I can post smaller copies.
You forgot to share with us the link....

I'm currently reading this book and I find it facinating:
