Anyway, this whole argument is moot. I thought this urn/sarcophagus looked familiar, and then I realized that I'd just seen it recently in an article and I also found another photograph of it online:

As can be seen, the colour is off in the photograph posted in this thread, and the green we're discussins is just a greyish blue - exactly the colour we would expect to represent iron.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
