Limestone grave marker

Two men reclining at a banquet are represented in the upper panel, while a couple seen from the waist up fill the space below. The Cypriots were among the first to represent banquets on funerary monuments. As on the sarcophagus (74.51.2451) nearby, such a scene may have simply evoked the pleasures of daily life or it may have been intended to elevate the deceased to a heroic level.
