Attic Pentelic Marble Grave Stele in the University of Pennsylvania Museum, November 2009

Attic Pentelic Marble Grave Stele
ca. 350-300 BC

# MS 5470

The stele here is treated as an architecturalized niche, framed by pilasters, a lintel and an architrave carrying a flat tiled roof. Two men stand by a seated woman named Krinylla, daughter of Stratios, according to the epitaph still faintly visible on the architrave. The bearded man in the center is Naukles, son of Naukrates of Lamptrae, while the man on the right is Naukrates, son of Naukles of Lamptrae. The second Naukles must be the grandfather of the first. Lamptrae was a district or deme of Attica.
