Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Funerary lekythos. Pentelic marble. Found in the district of Brahami, south-east of Athens. The neck and mouth of the vase are restored. A priest wearing a full-length chiton is depicted. In his extended right hand, he holds a kantharos, wine-vessel associated with the cult of Dionysus. The dead man’s name, Pantaleon, is inscribed on the projected baseline below the figure. Toward the bottom, an engraved band can be made out, in which there will have been a painted maeander. The monumental quality and subject of the representation, together with the size of the lekythos suggest that it was a self-contained funerary monument, set instead of a stele above the grave of Pantaleon, an Athenian priest of Dionysus. About 350 B.C. Inventory Number: 4495. National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Athens, Greece.
