Graeco-Roman art.
229 b. (I. N. 2807). Fragment of a tomb relief: Stable-boy with
horse. M.
Greatest height 0.88, Br. 0.57, H. of boy 0.575. Typical Attic sinter
on the surface. Acquired in Paris in 1930. Found in Athens.
In the picture between the vertical frames is a lad of
distinctly plebeian type, gripping the originally painted-on
reins with his raised right hand. Of the horse we see the
chest, neck with folds and the lower part of the head with
the drawn mouth, evidently indicating that the horse is
neighing. Stable-boys among horses are to be seen in a relief
in Athens which presumably came from the base of a votive
figure (Svoronos: Das Athener Nationalmuseum pl. LXVII
No. 1464 text p. 465).
It is the left panel of a large Attic tomb relief in chapel
form (naiscus), and we know of other side panels, always
with renderings of slave boys or girls associated with the
main picture in the middle. Our relief belongs to the period
about 320 B. C.

H. 0.83. The fronton above partly broken off. Acquired 1895 through
Hartwig in Rome, but found in Athens.
In the centre a shield (see No. 229 and Conze: Attische
Grabreliefs IV pl. 393, 1856 and many others).
The relief, which is framed by a gateway with a rounded
arch (on which see Pauly-Wissowa III A col. 2319), shows
a sinking ship with three persons clinging to the rigging
or the ship’s sides, and a fourth man overboard hanging
on to the

shipwreck and the relief was put up over an empty grave
