Not too far from the main road a lone sarcophagus stood on a kind of pedestal.
The Sarcophagus of Xñtabura, a hipoje-sarcophagus of the Lycian house type. It has eagle-gryphons on the pediments, and various winged creatures on the lid. A funeral feast and a judging of the deceased (by Zeus and probably Rhadamanthys, Minos of Aiakos) are also represented. I did not get close enough to see them.
