Résumé
We present an ostotheke with an unpublished inscription. This cinerary urn was made of limestone from around Lydia and Caria, perhaps from the quarries of Hierapolis. It presents a rectangular shape with a beveled base, measuring 34 cm. high, 59 cm. wide and 36 cm. deep. A festooned garland traverses the front long side in two rounds that are held up by three heads, that of a bull in the center and of two rams on the sides.
