Marble slab with a relief representation of a female figure. Late 4th c. BCE.

Marble slab with a relief representation of a female figure
Found near the church of Ayia Triada in the Kerameikos, Athens.
Probably from a large funerary naiskos dating from the late 4th c. BC.
The female figure in the relief is close to the type of the
'Large Herculaneum Woman, and, as many scholars have suggested, is a free reworking of the type. The National Museum relief is probably one of the last grave reliefs before their manufacture was banned in Attica.
Athens, National Archaeological Museum inv. no. 1005

Photographed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece.
