The Sarcophagus of Marcus Claudianus

Detail:  The Resurrection of Lazarus

Again Christ holds that odd wand.  The figure kneeling at his feet is Martha, who came forward to greet him as he approached the village.

Other sarcophagi of the period (one example, another) place this miracle at the far right and include a kneeling Martha.
