DescriptionThe heroized deceased reclining at his banquet is accompanied by a small attendant at the lower right. He has beside him a representation in marble of one of those large bronze volute kraters on stands such as have survived in some numbers from antiquity and from scattered areas of the Greek world.
The surfaces are badly damaged but have acquired a handsome yellow-brown patina.
