This fragment of an Attic grave stele is one of the few Greek originals at Wellesley, ca. 350 b.c. It has proved to be an excellent teaching piece because of the mood , perspective and tool-marks , and its incompleteness sharpens the eye. A dead athlete ( represented now by only a hand ) grips the head of a slave-boy. The child, about four , may hold athletic implements or a bird, and looks up at his dead master with lowered, swollen lids. Height, 0.39 m.
