Description
This is a funerary pediment stele with a symposium scene depicting two couples.
The men are leaning back on a low bench and the women seated on the bench, the women seem to be wives of the men and not hetairas, a detail which may often be observed in symposium scenes in Cyprus. A fifth figure is holding a vessel and possibly represents a servant. The theme is usually connected to life after death and shows the deceased to be content in the afterlife and not at a moment during his lifetime on earth.
The stele was discovered in the unknown provenance.
