Late Antique sarcophagus depicting Jesus among the Apostles

Late Antique sarcophagus depicting a beardless Jesus Christ seated and flanked by two rows of six Apostles, probably during a sermon. A small four-footed animal, possibly a lamb, is at Christ's feet. The lid is shaped in the form of pitched roof with two human head-like acroteria (probably re-used). It bears a latin inscription.
