Fragmentary marble grave stele of a hoplite (foot soldier)

Attributed to Aristokles

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 157

The fragment preserves part of the bare feet of the hoplite and the lower end of the left greave (shin guard) with its lining and three ridges of the articulation of the calf muscle. The shaft at the right edge is the end of the warrior's spear. The inscription on the ground line gives the conclusion of a personal name and the conventional verb for made [it or me]. The subject, the sensitive articulation, and the inscription associate this work with others signed by Aristokles.
