4.5.2 Right Side
The right side is a composition of one female and one male figure
flanking a tomb portal on the left and on the right, respectively.
Figure F. Standing veiled female figure wearing a chiton and a himation
(Fig. 72). The lower body is shown frontally and the upper body is turned slightly
to her left. The weight of the body is on the right leg and left leg is at ease. The
left knee is bent and recognizable beneath the chlamys. The right arm is extended
horizontally across the body towards the left hand. The left hand is touching the
body and the upturned palm holds an incense box (?), the right forefinger
touching it. She has calcei on her feet. The veil of the himation is covering the
back part of the head leaving some hair visible at the front. The way the head is
carved suggests it was tied in a bun. The face does not have a portrait character,
however, the facial features are clear. The pupils have been indicated. There are
encrustations on her chin and within the folds of her clothes.
Figure G. Sacrificial animal, probably a bullock with a hump-back,
standing to the height of the right hip of Figure F (Fig. 72). Only the fore part of
the animal is shown. The animal is extending its right foreleg forward and the left
foreleg is slightly visible behind. Its head is turned to its right. There are
encrustations on the animal’s right ear.
Figure H1: The double- leaved door of the tomb in front of which the altar
H2 stands (Fig. 73). The door is plain with lintels projecting outwards. Above the
upper lintel is a band of scrollwork and a band of dentils, enclosed on three sides
by a plain border.
Figure H2: Flaming altar (thymiaterium) (Walker, 1990: 54) (Fig. 73)
leaning forward on a round table with three feline shaped legs. The legs make a
