Dating back to the 5th century BC, this grave stele stands as an allegory for human psychology and psychological behavior. The intricate details captured in this photograph reveal an abstract concept and symbolize the depths of sorrow experienced by individuals during that period. Dressed in elaborate costume and fashion, the male figure depicted on the stele wears a helmet and holds a shield, signifying his role as a warrior.
