Description
This relief shows five figures, four men of different ages and a girl, on a flat background, framed together in space (possibly a house). The seated figure is noticably bigger than the rest, which can be interpreted as him being the house philosopher of the family, and therefore also the main focus of the relief, possibly representing the deceased.
