A representative example of a class of column-shaped funerary monuments with base and capital, which are known as cippi and were used as grave markers in several parts of Cyprus (Amathous, Kition, Salamis, Kyrenia) from the Late Hellenistic to the Late Roman period. In addition to relief decorative bands, cippi of this type often carry Greek inscriptions mentioning the name of the deceased, addressed with the standard greeting XΑΙΡΕ (‘farewell’) and sometimes the name of the father or the spouse. Expressions of condolence are also frequent, such as ΟΥΔΕΙΣ ΑΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ (‘no one is immortal’). The illustrated limestone cippus has no inscription but is decorated with the bust of a female figure placed in a conch. Both the hairstyle and jewellery bring to mind a grave relief from Tremithousa, in the district of Larnaca, and both pieces are considered to be products of the same workshop.
