4th-5th century AD. A carved marble casket, rectangular in plan with ledge feet, gabled lid with palmette to each corner; the lid with panels of reserved palmettes and tendrils, the body with an advancing gryphon to each short side, scene with reclining figures to each long side. 1.7 kg, 13cm (5 1/4"). From an important collection of a Mayfair gentleman; acquired from a Mayfair gallery before 1999. The cinerarium was designed to be placed in a niche in a communal or family tomb, most commonly called a columbarium due to its likeness to a dovecote. It was in these tombs that relatives would come to perform rituals in honour of their dead ancestors which oftentook the form of communal meals in specially designed rooms or gardens adjacent to the burial vault. Many of the urns portray a rich repertoire of scenes on them, from portraits of the deceased to images of mythological scenes related to the rebirth of the soul. Many are also inscribed with the names of the dead person and follow a standard formula invoking the spirit of the deceased, as well as giving details of their genealogy. Cinerary chests of marble were produced in the Mediterranean regions of the Roman Empire, notably at the quarries of Carrara north of Rome, Mount Pentellicus near Athens in Greece, as well as Belevi, Docimaeum and Proconensus in Asia Minor. Most of these quarries catered for a limited local market with only Mount Pentellicus, Proconensus and Docimaeum engaging in long distance trade. [A video of this lot is available on the TimeLine Auctions website] Fine condition, some surface accretion.

Property of a London gentleman; part of his family collection since the 1970s. Stelae such as this were placed in a chapel above a tomb, usually in front of a statue of the deceased that was placed in a niche, and where the relatives came to offer food and drink and pray to the spirit of the dead person; the stelae also acted as a spiritual portal through which the soul of the deceased could pass to partake of the offerings left in the chapel. These stelae are inscribed with the name and title of the tomb owner along with prayers to Osiris; they generally depict the deceased, and members of their family, worshipping the gods. The act of mentioning the name of the deceased at regular funerary rituals was an integral part for the survival of the soul in the afterlife, as well as allow later generations to remember their lineage. As well as prayers and spells to help the deceased they also had 'autobiographies', which were accounts of the life of the deceased, praising their qualities as well as good deeds carried out when they were alive, thus furthering their chances in the afterlife. Fine condition.
