Found on Salamis Island. The deceased woman sits upright on a stool, her feet resting comfortably on a footstool. She wears a traditional Greek tunic and cloak, and her hair is wrapped neatly in a snood. On her knees lies a small storage box from which she takes something. In front of her stands a young woman wearing the same type of clothing, supporting her head with her right hand as she mourns. Above the two figures are inscribed their names: Phano and Kallippis. A standing youth appears at the right, wrapped in a cloak, and behind Phano, a servant girl dressed in a distinctive sleeved tunic holds an infant in her arms.
