Funerary stele

This impressive memorial slab can be categorized as a 'cippus' type, boasting an elegantly curved recess that frames the field atop its pediment. Perched at the very top are two miniature lions, serving as symbolic sentinels guarding the sepulchre. Within this recess, the deceased individuals take center stage: the place of honor is reserved for the woman, situated to the right of her partner in accordance with ancient Roman customs. Beneath their busts lies a small, curved niche housing a poignant portrait of a child.
