Sarcophagus of Princess Olga information


Sketch of carved patterns on the front side of the sarcophagus from the “Illustrated History of Ukraine” by Mikhail Grushevsky (1921).

The sarcophagus of Princess Olga from the Tithe Church is a carved slate sarcophagus from the 11th century, found during excavations of the Tithe Church in Kyiv in 1826. Kept in the St. Sophia Cathedral. Some researchers believe that Princess Olga, who is known to have been reburied in the Church of the Tithes by her grandson Prince Vladimir around 1007, was buried there. The sarcophagus is exhibited in Sofia of Kyiv as the “Sarcophagus of Princess Olga”. However, this attribution is questioned by most researchers, although the possibility that Princess Olga could have been buried in the sarcophagus is not completely ruled out.[1]

The sarcophagus is covered with detailed carvings in the Byzantine style, similar to those found on the marble sarcophagus of Yaroslav the Wise and on the slate slabs of the choir of St. Sophia Cathedral.[2]
