Sculpture
This gravestone depicts the classic Greek funerary image of the dexiosis, or handshake, between a husband and wife. This motif either refers to a final farewell or is symbolic of a couple reunited in death. Athenian workshops probably mass produced these gravestones, which were then transported to other areas and inscribed with the names of the deceased at the time of purchase. On this stele, the names Kleitomache and Eumachos appear above the heads of the figures.
