Probably from Sidon or another Phoenician city, to judge from the script used. Is it from the Archaeological Museum?

I think Jona meant it could be Phoenician. That was my first thought too considering the script.
This may help. [url:1kbt571v]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenician_alphabet[/url] Doy you know the museum or collection it is in?

Looks to me like one of the "Graeco-Persian" stelae from Daskyleion dating to the Achaemenid period. The language is Aramaic.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian

Yes, it's Persian.
The cart with the 'tent' like structure is thought to be the sarcophagus and can be seen on a few stele and tomb paintings. Nice colour on the figure in the link!
