Marble Stele of a Young Girl in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007

Marble Stele of a Young Girl in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007
Marble stele (grave marker) of a young girl
Greek, Boeotian, ca. 440-425 BC

Accession # 11.141

The girl's rather chubby body and the garment worn without a belt suggest a young age. It is interesting to note that of her sandals, only the soles are sculpted; the straps would have been painted. The objects in her hands are probably fruit, specifically pomegrantes.
