Istanbul Archaeological Museum May 2014 8572.jpg

The Lycian sarcophagus is from the end of the 5th century BC. It seems to have been made by a sculptor from the Pelopennese but using the Lycian style.

This is a lion hunt from a quadriga (four horse spanned carriage). Counterparts of the drivers can be seen on the Parthenon friezes.

Detail.
