Funerary Naiskos of Aristonautes

The Funerary Naiskos of Aristonautes is a monumental grave marker found near the Dipylon Gate in the Kerameikos cemetery of ancient Athens [1]. Made of Pentelic marble and standing 2.48 m tall, it depicts Aristonautes, son of Archenautes from the deme of Halai, as a hoplite in combat posture wearing a breastplate, chlamys, and helmet [1]. The sculpture marks the transition between Classical and Hellenistic art and is now in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens [1].
