An elderly, bearded man, seats in a chair and faces left. The name, ‘Kallias’, is inscribed in Greek above his head. He clasps hands with a matronly woman standing before him. She bows her head and raises her left hand to her shoulder. The letters, painted in Greek, ‘….ito’ appear to the right of her head. A second woman stands behind her and holds a colored object in her right hand. To the left of her head is the inscription, ‘Kallis’, and to the right ‘Tarete’. A servant girl stands behind her holding two items: a box hanging from a cord in her lowered right hand, and another box in her more forward left hand. Behind the man’s chair stands a young girl with the inscription ‘Demainete’ directly above her head, and beyond her appears a man with a short beard, a strigil in his raised right hand, and a short cloak from waist to knees. The inscription, “Eubios’ is above his head, and behind his shoulder is the top of a staff or a branch. Grave marker in the form of stone lekythos. From Attica, about 390–380 BCE. Now in the Boston Museum…) -- source link
