Arathracian Ossuary
A chest made of stone, metal, or sometimes of carved fine wood used as the permanent repository for the bones of a deceased person whose body has typically been sollevated is an Arathracian Ossuary. The worth of the ossuary reflects the status of the deceased. The ossuary with the bones is kept in an Arathracian Temple or sometimes a family crypt.
