Grave stele. Pentelic marble. Found on Aegina. A standing youth, the head in profile, holds a small bird in his left hand and extends his right towards a hanging cage. He is accompanied by a sorrowful young attendant, who rests against a pillar with a crouching cat on top- The horizontal moulding of the stele has a relief band of palmettes and lotus flowers. Exquisite work of an artist who was possibly trained in the workshop of sculptor Agorakritos and also worked on the Parthenon frieze. 430-420 B.C. On display at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
