Lekythos (oil flask): Woman and Youth at Tomb Monument
View through Harvard Museums
The decoration on this vase is very poorly preserved, and much of the scene has rubbed off. In the center there is a gravestone on a two-stepped platform, topped by an acanthus finial. One woman approaches from the left, carrying a basket of offerings to the grave. On the other side is another woman, facing to the right, wearing a long red tunic (chiton) and with her bare right arm extended towards the gravestone.
