Summary
| Description |
The tympanum of the pediment (height 1 m.) has a depiction of a married couple half—reclining and facing each other, as at a banquet, consisting of a man of mature age with grey hair and a woman who rests her chin on her right hand. Their eyes do not meet. The man holds the key to a temple, an indication that he held some political or religious office, or that he is a god (Pluto?). They both wear clothes with rich drapery - a himation and a chiton. The plastic volumes of their bodies are worked by intensifying the color tones: dark red, violet, ochre for the shadows, greenish, grey, blue, pink and combinations of dilute grey and black. Macedonian Tomb 325 – 300 BC Lefkadia, Macedonia, Greece |
