Description
Content (description)
A large urn stands on left on rock in front of altar on which a fire burns vigorously. A female kneels on right and rests her hands on the urn. Behind her further right are four more females, one kneeling. Three stretch their hands to left, but the female on far right stands meditatively, holding one of her ringlets. A dolphin by her leg separates her from the others. All figures have nude torsoes and drapery around their legs.
