Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Funerary statue of a Siren. Pentelic marble. Found in the ancient cemetery of Kerameikos, Athens. The Siren, with its wings raised, laments the dead man, playing the lyre made of tortoiseshell. The right hand, in which she will have held the ‘plectrum’ is missing. The holes in the instrument’s soundbox indicate that the strings were made separately, probably of bronze. The plumage and other details of the body were indicated with colour. This Siren, probably along with inv. no. 775, flanked the stele of the Athenian horseman Dexileo who fell in battle in 394-393 B.C., now in the Kerameikos Museum. 370 B.C. Accession number: 774. National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
