Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a stone gravestone in the form of a lekythos. The object is made of light brown stone and has a wide mouth that tapers down to a narrow base with a small foot. The body of the object features a relief carving of four figures. On the left, a woman stands facing right with her hands clasped in front of her chest. Next to her, another woman stands facing right, extending her right hand to a third figure. The third figure, a woman, reaches out to accept the hand, while a small child stands in front of her. On the right, a woman stands facing left, extending her right hand to the third figure. The background of the image is dark gray, with the object casting a shadow on a lighter gray surface.
