Limestone funerary stele with banquet scene

Roman, Cypriot

Not on view

A young man wearing a chiton, a himation, and a thick vegetal wreath on his head reclines on a couch. The wreath, now heavily restored, is made of leaves and berries. The left arm is missing, as is the right hand that clasped the hand of another young man seated at the end of the couch. He wears the same garments and has the same face, but his wreath forms a roll around his head and he wears a ring on the left index finger. In front of the couch, on a three-legged table is set a dish with a loaf of bread and three pieces of fruit.
