The stele is tall and rectangular, tapering slightly toward the top. It is crowned by a pediment with three acroteria, the center one of which bears traces of a palmette; the two at the sides were not carved. On the face of the shaft is a recessed relief panel and a four-line inscription.

At the foot of the shaft is a roughly chiseled piece which would have been inserted into a stone base.

The relief panel shows a seated woman, Matis, at the r., taking something from a box which is held by a small standing girl at the l. Matis is seated on a chair with bull-hoof feet; a pillow-cushion is pressed to the back by her weight. Her feet rest on a footstool with folded lion legs for feet. She wears a cloak which, draped over her head, falls down her l. shoulder and arm. It does not cover the r. shoulder, but falls across her lap, where she clutches it with her l. hand. Underneath she wears a high-belted peplos. Her body is in three-quarter view, the head in profile. The small girl holding the open box at the l. stands up against the l. edge of the relief panel, which is indicated as a pillar with a simple capital. (The corresponding one at the r. was not completed.) Her hair is bound up, and she wears a long, transparent garment.

Although somewhat provincial in execution, and showing a certain awkwardness (such as the way in which Matis and her chair seem to recede in different directions), the stele is rooted in the Attic tradition. Both the style of carving and the inscription point to a date in the mid-3rd C. B.C.
