Sarcophagus (massive ossuary) with the inscription: "Yehuda son of Yehohanan son of Maqiq."
It resembles the epitaph of the burial chest to which the bones of Uzziah, king of Judah, were transferred (in the photo).

The façade of the sarcophagus is decorated with a wreath and two reliefs of “carrying handles” (which were characteristic of wooden coffins and were originally made of bronze).

Massive ossuaries of this type were relatively rare (less than 3% of all ossuaries) and were used by the heads of wealthy families in the community. A similar ossuary was discovered in the “Tomb of Abba,” in which, according to an inscription found in that cave, the bones of Mattathias (Mattathias Antigonus, the last king of the Hasmonean dynasty) were interred
