Limestone pediment from a funerary stele (shaft)
Not on view
In the center two women stand tearing their hair in mourning. They are flanked by lions and diminutive figures that may represent a Master of the Animals, known in Near Eastern art, or else the Egyptian god Bes. An inscription on the lower edge reads: "I am Aristokretes, my brothers set [this] down in memory of good deeds that I once did well."
