Funerary stele with a symposium scene

The symposium scene relief on this stele depicts a bearded figure, leaning back and holding a crutch, and may possibly be portraying the deceased individual. A woman, who could be his wife is seated on his lap. The stele is crowned with a lion in relief, a common apotropaic symbol of funerary monuments of the period. In Cyprus representations of symposia were associated with funerary ritual earlier than in the rest of the Hellenic world.
