Slab from a funerary monument - II

The slab was found in the ancient cemetery of Kerameikos, Athens. The monument, from which the slab comes, will have had the form of a naiskos, with pilasters and a pediment made of separate pieces of marble. This was the right slab of the three forming the monument. It depicts a woman wearing a chiton and a himation, which she draws up with her right hand.
