Aphandou/Rhodes (Greece), acquired in 1903
Marble, 430 - 420 BC
Represented here is the abduction of a divine woman, resembling the rape of Persephone by Hades. The woman is probably Brygindis, a local goddess of Rhodes. The donator of the relief is standing on the left in front of the horses with his right hand raised in veneration. The style of the relief is similar to the frieze of the Parthenon.
