Description
This relief was found in Athens, in the area of the Acharnian Gate.
It represents a woman sitting on a chair, turning her head towards another woman, possibly an attendant, who stands nearby. Both women hold chests with jewellery. The woman on the left, who is identified as the dead, also holds a mourning band in her right hand.
The build of the robust bodies indicates the stylistic affinity with a Peloponnesian, possibly Argive, workshop.
