Funerary stele, NAM 723
You will return back to the gallery that you previously saw and then use the entrance on the right, which leads to the next room, dedicated to the Athenian cemeteries. Cross the room and when you reach the opening leading to the next gallery, you will see on your left hand three funerary stelae. The stele in the middle (number 723) with the light pink colour is our next point of interest. A dead woman, whose name is Polyxeni, is the central figure of the composition.
