Description
The architrave of the stela is engraved with an inscription identifying the deceased: “Bako, Sokrates, Aristoke”. To the left, Bako clasps the hand of the seated woman, who may be her mother.
A young boy, likely her son, extends his arm towards her. In the background, a servant rests her head in her hand as a sign of grief. To the right, another servant carries a swaddled infant, probably the second child of Bako, who may have died giving birth.
