This is a marble grave stela of Exakestes, son of Androboulos, and his wife Metries. The deceased are shown in the pedimental arch (naiskos), upon which are carved two wreaths inscribed "The People". These indicate that both husband and wife received the honor of burial at public expense. Probably from Smyrna, Asia Minor. Circa 150-100 BCE. (The British Museum, London)
