Funerary relief with the figure of a girl standing within a columned structure. She stands frontally and wears a robe with long sleeves that hang down and form large loops. She holds a basket in her left hand, and her right hand is drawn into a fist. Her disproportionately small legs and feet are visible below the garment. A string of large beads encircles her neck. Her hair lies like a cap on her head with beadlike curls suggested by a few depressions. She is framed by two pilasters that support a triangular pediment, which is decorated with a cross. Traces of red paint are preserved on the robe and frame.
Provenance
Gift of Dr. and Mrs. Max Gerchik
