Decoration Description:
Woman and youth at a tomb. A wide, altar-like tomb with a meander ornamented molding at the top stands in the center of the scene. A lyre and large box stand on top of the monument. Five vessels (three lekythoi, an oinochoe, and a pyxis with a high stem foot) stand on the upper of the two steps at the front of the tomb. A youth with shoulder-length hair stands on the left holding out a wreath. He wears a mantle. A woman stands on the right facing foward, her head turned toward the tomb and her right hand extended toward it. She wears a peplos, and her hair is worn in a bun at the back.
