Relief stele figuring a child

This funerary stele comes from Lycia in Asia Minor. It must have formed a pillar of a rock-cut tomb. It figures a child holding a flower and a stick against a red background. Since Greek funerary art often represented the deceased on its tomb, one may suggest this was the stele on the grave of a child, represented as he was in his daily life. This is a typical example of eastern Greek art.
