- Tanım
The pediment has three acroteria: the central one has two snakes pointing downwards; the other two each have one snake pointing upwards. The recessed niche has tapering sides parallel to the stele sides. The relief shows a woman standing in a Pudicitia pose, wearing a veil, a chiton, and a himation which is thrown over her l. shoulder and wrapped to make a prominent diagonal fold from the l. wrist to the l. side. The weight is on her r. leg. At each side a tiny female attendant is looking up at her. On the shelf behind the central figure's head are, from l. to r., a basket, a bundle of papyrus rolls, a lily, and an alpha. There is a wreath above the niche and an inscription.
