Description
English: On display at the National Museum of Beirut, Lebanon:

"Between two stylized crosses, the bust of the Virgin Mary surrounded with a halo is represented inside a medallion. A marble door bearing a Greek inscription of Praullios dates the tomb to the 12th August 440 A.D. Byzantine Period (395-636 A.D.)"
