介绍（中）	长边A：狩猎 B：宴会短边A：战车场景 B：珀尔修斯带着蛇发女怪美杜莎的头离开。飞马Pegasos和英雄Chrysor是从她被割断的脖子上出生的就像相邻画廊里的大型石棺一样，这个胸部的石棺有四平方英尺高，有一个尖顶形状的盖子。四面用低浮雕雕刻的场景与希腊艺术相似，但在风格和细节上有所不同，这些都是由在Golgoi工作的艺术家引入的。在狩猎场景中，两对手持步兵的战士攻击一头公牛和一头野猪，而一名弓箭手则从左侧拉弓靠近。三棵树构成了背景，一匹马、一只公鸡和一条狗构成了整个构图。虽然成对的战斗战士是希腊艺术中常见的主题，但这位塞浦路斯雕塑家将战斗场景与狩猎场景混为一谈，并且对动物的比例也比希腊艺术中通常发现的更为随意。弓箭手可能代表死者，他也可能出现在石棺的其他三面：独自斜倚在宴会场景中，乘坐四匹马拉的战车，甚至扮演斩首美杜莎的希腊英雄珀尔修斯，把人变成石头的蛇发女怪。
介绍（英）	On the long sides A: Hunt B: Banquet On the short sides A: Chariot scene B: Perseus departs with the head of the Gorgon Medusa. The winged horse Pegasos and the hero Chrysaor are born from her severed neck. Like the large sarcophagus in the adjacent gallery, this chest-shaped sarcophagus stands on four square feet and has a lid in the form of a peaked roof. The scenes carved in low relief on all four sides have parallels in Greek art but show variations in style and in detail that were introduced by the artists working at Golgoi. In the hunting scene two pairs of warriors armed as hoplites (foot soldiers) attack a bull and a boar while a single archer approaches from the left with drawn bow. Three trees fill the background and a horse, a rooster, and a dog complete the composition. While pairs of fighting warriors were common motifs in Greek art, the Cypriot sculptor has conflated a battle scene with a hunting scene and has also taken more liberties with the scale of the animals than is usually found in Greek art. The archer may represent the deceased, and he may also be shown on the other three sides of the sarcophagus: reclining alone in the banquet scene, riding in the chariot drawn by four horses, and even as Perseus, the Greek hero who decapitated Medusa, the Gorgon who turned men to stone.
