Description
This is a funerary stele with relief picturing a farewell scene. The relief depicts the deceased person, a middle-aged bearded person seated and holding his hand out towards a younger individual standing opposite him and holding a parchment. In the classical world giving the right hand for a handshake denoted a farewell act. The parchment possibly refers that the deceased was a man of letters. The stele copies Greek prototypes but it was made in Cyprus.
