Athens (Greece), acquired in 1865
Marble, around 400 BC
The motif of the female deceased putting on jewellery with the help of an assisting servant is depicted fairly frequently. This scene may appear banal, but acquires deeper meaning by the underworldly siren couple in the finial of the stele. The deceased adorns herself for the very last time to enter the underworld realm as "bride of Hades".
