Grabmal Kaiser Friedrichs III., Imperial tomb in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Austria.
The monumental tomb of Emperor Frederick III features a red-brown Adnet marble sarcophagus with detailed sculptural work throughout its surface.
Niclas Gerhaert van Leyden began crafting the tomb in 1468, though the emperor's remains were not transferred to their final resting place until 1513.
The tomb displays 240 small statues along its sides, representing the emperor's charitable works and contributions to society during his reign.
Visitors can examine the tomb's carved details through a stone balustrade that provides a clear view of the emperor's recumbent figure in coronation regalia.
The sarcophagus lid depicts Emperor Frederick III holding imperial regalia, with the mysterious vowel sequence AEIOU inscribed near the scepter.
