Description
This fragment was found in Anavyssos, Attica. It preserves only the face
It preserves only the face of a woman who holds with her left hand the head of a child. The stele would have shown the woman seated, holding the child on her lap.
Indeed it was a custom in Greek funerary art to represent the deceased in a daily life situation, often with his family, friends and servants.
