Grave monument of Archippus

Greek grave monuments often resembled small buildings with columns supporting a triangular pediment above. Here, we see the deceased Archippus accompanied by two servants, their status indicated by their small size. In the background can be seen a vase, probably silver.

 

Probably from Smyrna, 3rd to 2nd century BCE.
