Fragment of a grave stele. 430 - 420 BC.

Exhibited in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece. Pentelic marble.
Found in Athens, in the area of Votanikos. It preserves only the upper part of the image, with a standing girl to right, 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.
