The Marble Grave Stele is from the Late Classical period of Greece. It was carved in 350-300 B.C out of marble. The stele is a relief composed of three figures. Two of the heads have been lost with the rest of the top of the stele. The relief itself is uninscribed. A lady on the right clasps the hand of the man facing her. The man in this relief probably represents the deceased. He is dresses in a cloak which leaves his chest and right arm bear. The third figure, which is a shortest of the two women, is carved in full frontal view between the two adults. The three probably represent a mother, father and daughter. The chair in which the tallest woman sits is in the style of most of the chairs of this period. The two legs are slightly curved and are on the same ground line as two of the figures. The figures of the women are clothed, as most of the women are depicted in this period. The relief has a sense of calmness, which is a characteristic of the late classical period.
