Description
On three sides of the altar, which was intended for a funeral cult and was of pre-eminently of an ornamental nature, there are a series of female figures depicted: the two on the left side are Muses who are playing music and dancing; the others are Aglaurids, Athenian heroines of regal rank who produced music by the very act of walking. Dating from the end of the 1st Century B.C.
