Funerary stele of a woman

myminifactory

This is an intricately carved funerary stele of a lady whose identity remains a mystery, but her husband was undoubtedly Olympichos. A woven basket for wool sits discreetly beneath the deceased's chair, while a loyal female slave stands steadfast at the center and a woman is depicted to the right. This exquisite piece originates from Attica, dating back to the 2nd century AD.
