| Description | The Nereid Monument, located in Room 17 of the British Museum in London, is a stunning example of ancient Greek funerary art from the 4th century BCE. Originating from Xanthos in Lycia, modern-day Antalya Province, Turkey, this elaborate tomb structure is dedicated to Arbinas, the ruler of Lycia. The monument features intricately carved reliefs depicting scenes from Greek mythology, including Nereids, sea nymphs, and other mythological figures. With its rich symbolism and exquisite craftsmanship, the Nereid Monument serves as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the ancient world, offering visitors a glimpse into the funerary customs and beliefs of ancient Lycia. |
