This sarcophagus is of a different marble, as has been said.

As to the third period, the garlands and little pretty vases over the doors of the chapel, and the consoles and niches above, are like nothing else in the world but those carved frames that in Florence to this day are called "Vasari frames." The marble candlesticks upon the altar of the chapel are of different marble from the altar on which they stand, and appear to be of an earlier date.

The grotesques on the bases are of good design, and the drill holes of the marble cutting are simply left to tell their story of how the work was done, instead of being cut away and hidden as in later work.

May they not have been designed in Michael Angelo's time, possibly for the brackets on the cornice of the panelling behind the tombs?
On the altar is the inscription: PAULUS V.PONT.

The figures of Giuliano and Lorenzo are perfectly finished; they cannot be regarded as portraits, but as symbols.
