The fragment is probably from the upper part of a sizeable marble funerary ‘stele’. Decorated in high relief with two male heads. The head shown to the right depicts a youth gazing slightly outwards, while the head to the left depicts a man gazing upwards towards the youth. We can look at the scene as one of mourning, with the older man showing his respect and grieving the younger youth.
