Egyptian small Sarcophagus figurine.
A sarcophagus is a stone coffin. Scholars believe that early limestone coffins had the properties to dissolve the body quickly hence the translation of sarcophagus to "flesh eater." The earliest stone coffins in use among the Egyptians of the 3rd Dynasty were designed to represent palaces of mud brick architecture with an ornamental arrangement of false doors and windows.
Each Egyptian Sarcophagus figurine is made from a high quality resin and is finished in a rich chesnut colour which is enhanced further with soft bronze and gold finishing. It gives the pieces a soft pearlescent sheen in the light.
