It is unknown whether this sarcophagus was intended to actually be used as such...or whether the intention was to have it serve as a piece of art. The plaque at the site merely informs us:
"Carl Wollek
SARCOPHAGUS AND TOMBSTONE FIGURE FOR ADRIENNE NEUMANN, 1912
Bronze
Wien Museum"
The sarcophagus has whimsical depicitions of children (or are they cherubs?) playing musical instruments, horns, triangle, accordian, guitar, etc.
