Relief with banquet. A man reclines on a couch with a cup in his left
hand. Before him is a table with food. A woman is seated near the foot
of the couch with her left hand raised to her veil. On the right is a
boy in a short tunic, perhaps holding a kyathos. On the left is a

Relief with banquet. A man reclines on a couch, with a bowl in his
left hand; with the right hand he holds a wreath on his head. Before
him is a table with food. The legs of the table terminate above in the
form of swans' heads. Above is an olive wreath, containing the words
[Greek: Ho dêmos]; also a pediment, having acroteria, and containing a
rosette.
Inscribed:
[Greek:
Ho dêmos Lênaion Artemidôrou·
kai to prin en polemois têrôn pyrgon, parodita,
kai nyn têrêsô, hôs dynamai, nekys ôn.]
The 'tower' which Lenaios undertakes to defend in death has been
conjectured to be the Dipylon gate at Athens, whence the relief was
probably obtained.

inches. _Rhein. Mus. N.F._ 1848, p. 82; Kaibel, 111.

Sculptured pedestal. On the front is a relief of a banquet. A man
reclines on a couch, with a table of food before him. He holds a bowl
in his left hand, and clasps with his right hand the hand of a woman
who is seated at the foot of the couch. A boy stands on the left. A
wreath is carved on the pilaster to the right of the relief, which
probably contained the inscription: [Greek: Ho dêmos].
Inscribed: [Greek: Hellaniôn Tarseus], Hellanion of Tarsus. On the
right and left ends the pedestal is adorned with pediments. Above,
it is roughly worked to fit the plinth of a statue.--_Xanthos?_
