The fluting of the columns and the stone blocks of the three-stepped stylobate are clearly defined. To the right appears an eight-pointed star and below is a "palm" of ivy. The inscription on the left follows the conventional formula known from so many Attic vases "Alkimos Egrapse" and reads, actually, "Alkimos Eglupse," indicating that Alkimos "painted it" or, in this case, "carved" the scene. The back has two large dents, and part of one edge is broken away. The surface is in good condition. It has a faintly crusty texture and a yellow coloring.Sculpture12.0000000000 Centimeterhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/detailsrdf/151092;jsessionid=F18605D29BFCB187F10E0C4958D6CB31
