description The 19th century drawing of the panel of a decorated plaster sarcophagus from the church of Saint-Christophe de Créteil has recently been rediscovered. Analysis of the ornamentation allows us to identify a Merovingian sarcophagus made from the same mould as another Parisian example found during the 19th century, in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés cemetery. The church, the oldest parts of which date back to the twelfth century, is mentioned for the first time in the early 10th century, and comprises a crypt housing relics of martyrs cited in the 9th century. The Créteil cemetery has been in use since the end of the early 6th century. The presence of this sarcophagus with a Parisian decoration within a Medieval church could suggest the existence of an earlier edifice, dating to the Merovingian period.
