Grave stele

myminifactory

This grave stele was found in the Piraeus. It depicts a bearded man clad in a mantle, sitting on a chair, holding a staff. The epistyle of the naiskos stele identifies him as Tynnias, son of Tynnon, a native of Trikorynthos, an Attic demos near Marathon. His respectable figure recalls analogous idealistic images of Athenian citizens and gods on the Parthenon frieze.
