The stele is made from nearly half of a large Doric column with four arrises preserved. The interridge distance is ca. 0.08. Between two trees is a horseman galloping to r. Holding the reins in his l. hand, he turns his head slightly back. It is not clear what he held in the raised r. hand. The cloak thrown over his shoulder waves behind his r. arm. Against the tree on the l. appears a small chubby figure, very poorly preserved, in near frontal pose and moving to l. It was cloaked and may be the usual small groom seen on such stelai. On the top of the column at the edge is a mason’s mark (H. 0.025).

The stele belongs to a well-known class of late Hellenistic funerary monuments. The lively rhythm, and the workmanship competent though sketchy, would be consistent with late Hellenistic “Pergamene” rather than Roman Imperial style.

Marble, reddish accretion.

Piece broken off at top where stele was fastened from above, perhaps set within wall. Entire surface of the human figures and horse chiseled off, apparently intentionally.
