Description: Grave relief of Demetria and Pamphile. The inscription beneath the pediment gives the names of the two dead sisters. The women, remote and isolated, gaze apathetically at the spectator. They are already in another, transcendental world, far from the things of this life. The pilasters of the naiskos have been restored. It is one of the last tomb stones made before the law passed by Demetrios of Phaleron prohibiting the erection of luxurious tomb monuments. Ca. 325-310 BC. From a grave enclosure by the South Way. Kerameikos, Ancient Graveyard, Athens, Greece.
