Inscribed Attic funeral stele for a man named Artemon. Artemon is shown shaking the hand of an older man (presumably his father), in the characteristic farewell gesture of dexiosis. Above, two sphinxes flank a Siren who mourns for the deceased. Artist unknown; ca. 350 BCE. Now in the Glyptothek, Munich. -- source link
