Painted limestone funerary slab with a soldier taking a kantharos from his attendant

Painted limestone funerary slab with a soldier taking a kantharos from his attendant. Culture: Greek. Dimensions: Other: 14 13/16 × 9 5/8 × 3 3/8 in. (37.6 × 24.4 × 8.6 cm)
Other (Panel): 9 3/4 × 7 7/8 in. (24.8 × 20 cm). Date: 2nd half of 3rd century B.C..
A boy with dark brown skin, standing at the left, holds out a black cup to a tall soldier in a long blue cloak, at the right. The boy holds a lance and supports the soldier's large oval shield  against his chest.  Almost all the preserved evidence for painting in the Hellenistic period comes from funerary monuments. Some like the vaulted tombs of Macedonia and Thrace show large scale figures and friezes. More modest painted stelai like the ones displayed here have been found in many places in the Eastern Meditereanean.
