English: A notice in the museum explains how there were different burial rites during the occupation of the Sagalassos site. In Hellenistic times (3rd to 1st century BC) corpses were cremated and then buried inside rectangular house-shaped urns decorated with a door on one small side and with rosettes or weaponry (stressing military capacities) on all other sides. Some of the gables lids carried the figure of a crouching lion as protector of the grave. In early Imperial times some urns started to be decorated with garlands. In general however, from that period onwards and throughout the first half of the 1st century AD a new type of urn directly influenced by Roman practice was introduced into the city: a large vase decorated with garlands supported by theatre masks and crowned with a conical lid. I think, though it stands outside, this is an example. In case I'm wrong, it probably is an ornament for a grave.
