Priests Performing Funeral Rites

Cleveland Museum of Art

The stone relief depicts two figures, both with short, textured hairstyles and no clothing. The figure on the left sits on a low stool with knees bent, body facing left, and head turned right. The figure on the right stands with one leg slightly bent, body and head turned right, holding an object up. The seated figure holds a pot with both hands. The background features a rough texture with some lines and marks. The relief is rectangular with a rough edge on the left side. The scene appears to show priests performing a funeral rite.
