Description
Content (description)
A half-draped youth with flowing hair sits on left on high rocks to right and plays the lyre. On the ground by the rocks stands a tigress or dog to left, one paw raised, looking up to right. In the centre stands a draped female with a loose cap on her head, looking left; she holds an oenochoe in her right hand. On right a draped female wearing a similar cap stands facing left, holding out a pater in her right hand. This relief, without the figures on right, is very similar to Bm 8 28.
