Summary

| Description |
English: Funerary lekythos. Pentelic marble. Found in the ancient cemetery of the Kerameikos, Athens. The relief depicts a young woman seated on a stool, suffering the pains of childbirth. The two figures supporting her, possibly the midwife and her husband, cannot avert the tragedy, as is suggested by her hands, now lifeless, and the lamentation of her husband. The name of the dead woman, Theophante, is inscribed toward the top. The lekythos was probably placed on a funerary mensa found in the Kerameikos, on which the same name is inscribed and which comes from the grave enclosure of a distinguished Athenian, Olympiodoros of Anaphlystos. About 340 B.C. Inventory number: 1055. National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Athens, Greece.
