Sarcophagus "with trees" (Anastasis type)

Vertical trees punctuate this façade, separating compact gospel vignettes that lead to the Anastasis: Christ, cross-staff in hand, pulls Adam from the underworld while shattered doors and fettered Death lie beneath. The arboreal dividers—an inherited Roman device—turn the relief into a legible sequence and symbolize the garden of new life promised by the Resurrection.
