Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Funerary ‘naiskos.’ Pentelic marble. Found in the ancient cemetery of Kerameikos, Athens. A young Athenian warrior with full military equipment and wearing a chlamys is depicted on the field of battle, striding vigorously to the right. He carries a shield on his left arm and will have held a sword in his right hand. The holes in the forehead were used to attach a bronze helmet or a wreath. The dramatic facial expression and sinewy body recalls works by the Parian sculptor Skopas. The name of the dead warrior is inscribed on the epistyle of the ‘naiskos’: Aristonautes son of Archenautes, of the deme of Halai. The base of the loutrophoros preserved on the central acroterion of the ‘naiskos’ indicates that he died unmarried. 350-325 B.C. Accession number: 738. National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Text: Museum inscription. |
