Description
The ossuary is decorated with garlands, bucrania and human figures in relief as well as a representation of the entrance of a tomb on one of the shorter sides. Similar ossuaries were found in western Cilicia, Asia Minor, and date to the Roman period. It is possible that the ossuary was not found in Cyprus but may have been brought to the island at some point from somewhere else. The ossuary was discovered in an unknown provenance.
