| Description: |
Berlin, Staatliche Museum. H. 1.5m. Palmette on top of long, rectangular stele. A young girl, dressed in chiton and himation, her hair bound with fillets, bows her head as she looks through a pyxis (jewellery box). At her feet, a second pyxis. |
| Discussion: |
Typical funerary stele of the period, featuring a lone figure pondering on what is to come in Hades, or on what they have left behind. This girl died unmarried, but she still shows an interest in her jewellery-box, as do other, married, ladies on later steles (see, for example, Item # 39). |
