Terracotta lekythos (oil flask)

Attributed to the Thanatos Painter

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Woman and girl at a tomb

The young woman at right is bringing an alabastron (perfume vase) and a fillet. The added color of her garments is lost. The woman at left may be her mistress, and may be deceased. The stool on top of the grave monument cannot surely be explained.
