Légende
Gravestone in the Form of a Lekythos, 300s BC. This Attic grave marker is in the form of a lekythos, a type of vase commonly left as a grave offering. On it is a scene in relief with inscriptions. At the right a bearded man wearing a himation (cloak), whose name "Timophon" is inscribed, clasps hands with a woman wearing a himation and mantle with the inscribed name "Lysistrate." Below and between them is a girl identified by an inscription as "Kleippe." At the left is an unidentified woman, likely a nurse, holding an infant. The scene probably commemorates Lysistrate?s death in childbirth. Her newborn child apparently survived.
