Our relief is based on the so-called ‘Alexander’ Sarcophagus, c. 315-325, which is exhibited in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum. The so-called ‘Alexander’ Sarcophagus was discovered in the late 19th century in the Royal Necropolis at Sidon. The sarcophagus, which is detailed in high relief marble sculpture, depicts two hunting scenes and two battle scenes, each motif represented on a long and short side. The scenes are well preserved and richly decorated, with the prominent figures associated with Alexander III of Macedon (356 – 323BCE) who subdued the kingdom of Sidon during the early years of his campaign against the Persian Empire. The figure on the left of the frieze on horseback with a flowing cape is identified as Alexander the Great. The figure in Persian style dress beside him, who is at the Centre of the hunting action and engaged in a critical moment of combat with the lion, is identified as the speculated owner of the sarcophagus, Abdalonymus.
