Fortune, a bull, and two rams - A new ostotheke probably from Ephesos
Résumé
We present an ostotheke with an unpublished inscription. This cinerary urn was made of limestone from around Lydia and Caria, perhaps from the quarries of Hierapolis. It presents a rectangular shape with a beveled base, measuring 34 cm. high, 59 cm. wide and 36 cm. deep. A festooned garland traverses the front long side in two rounds that are held up by three heads, that of a bull in the center and of two rams on the sides.
