2485. Circular altar (?), surrounded by a frieze of female
figures in relief. Two figures stand with hands joined.
Two figures stand, carrying a flat basket between them.
A figure moves to the right, with a cornucopia on the left
arm, and places her right hand on the shoulder of another
figure, also moving to the right, but turning back her
head; the latter figure carries a lamb in her right hand.
A figure stands to the front, and a figure moves on tip-toe
to the right. All the figures are fully draped in various-
ways. The heads have all been deliberately obliterated.
The work is rough, but some of the types are derived
from the later Attic reliefs.
