Alexander sarcophagus in the Istanbul Archaeological Museums

 Slavete Omnes,



the great Istanbul museum has this amazing piece of ancient  Greek funerary art -  The Sarcophagus of Alexander - from Sidon in the ancient and beautiful land of Lebanon. 
this is the first of my post showing this sarcophagus - and thanks to the photographers and museum policies in Turkiye we can enjoy almost every detail of this amazing sculptural work.

Enjoy
Valete
