Source Description

A woman, wearing a chiton and veil, is seen against a spiral column and beneath an arch. The arched panel above has an egg-and-dart border. The bottom and sides are squared, indicating that this panel joined others to form a scene, probably from the side of a box. The upper left border has been broken.
