Authors: | Dobias-Lalou, C. | Title: | Drawing of igcyr086900 Epitaph | Date issued: | 1983 | Chronology: | 3rd Century B.C. | Historical Period: | Hellenistic period | Subject: | IGCyr086900 - Name | Description: | Dobias-Lalou, C. Drawing of igcyr086900 Epitaph, 1983, Mission Archéologique Française. Upper and lower part of a white carefully polished marble naiskos; the upper part (1.13 0.10) has a low triangular pediment with acroteria at each angle (the left one broken off), surmounting a small plain moulding of eggs and darts and a plain architrave (the right end of which is broken off). The lower part (0.94 0.22 0.31) is constituted of a rectangular low base with four moulded feet; on the base rested a sculptured group of which the only vestiges are at both front angles the legs of a kneeled person and in the middle two webbed feet of an animal, perhaps a swan. Very lightly inscribed on the architrave below the gable, the letters being then painted alternately in yellow, red and blue; the very frail epidermis of the marble is lost at some places and the reddish color due to a long stay in the local earth makes the reading difficult if not under low light. |
