Greek, South Italian, Tarentine
This fragment very likely belongs to a typical Tarentine relief showing a reclining male figure at whose feet stands or sits a woman holding a small child. The identity of the figures continues to be debated. The male figure may be Dionysos, the woman and child Persephone and Iakchos.
