Description
This inscribed tombstone from Attica (the area around Athens) features two rosettes below the lettering puncturing an otherwise bare piece of stone, its blankness made more poignant when compared to the decorative foliage above. In contrast to other grave stelai of similar date this memorial asks not for engagement so much as silence
