FEMALE PORTRAIT | Fragment of a Grave Stele

• FEMALE PORTRAIT | Fragment of a Grave Stele:
"Found in Athens, in the area of Votanikos.
It preserves only the upper part of the image, with a standing girl, holding a pyxis [chest].
The lintel of the originally pedimental crown, preserves traces of a painted inscription.
One of the earliest Attic grave stelai of the Classical period, clearly inspired by the Parthenon frieze."
