Bearded male votary wearing a wreath, Second quarter of the 5th century B.C. Limestone. Said to be from the temple at Golgoi. The Cesnola Collection, Purchased by subscription 1874–76 (74.51.2461).

A variety of stone funerary monuments are also displayed. The room is dominated by a large limestone sarcophagus from the necropolis of Golgoi. The scenes in low relief, which have parallels in Greek art depict a hunt, a banquet, a chariot, and Perseus, the son of Zeus who decapitated Medusa, the Gorgon who turned men into stone. They show variations in style and detail that were introduced by local sculptors and, indeed, the subjects themselves may be associated with the life of the deceased. Also on view are two grave markers with high reliefs that bring to mind examples from Greece, and two impressive capitals from tall rectangular shafts that show floral motifs derived from Phoenician art. Another terminal for a tall funerary shaft has a pair of elegant sphinxes. A blend of the Greek and the local style of decoration is found in Cypriot jewelry, such as a type of massive, highly ornate loop earring found only on Cyprus. At the same time, the Cypriot ceramic tradition maintained independence from outside influence, as is demonstrated by a group of exuberantly decorated figural pitchers.
