Hellenistic gravestone of a child

myminifactory

The child's grave marker stands out for its restraint compared to other funeral art pieces from this era. While many works from this time period boast numerous characters and intricate embellishments, this one takes a stark approach by depicting only a solitary child standing alone in the center. The simplicity of this design may stem from the financial burden that would have come with more elaborate carving or from the deliberate choice to emphasize the child as the sole focus of their memorial stone.
