soul house

This " soul house" belongs to a category of terracotta objects which have been found in the modest tombs of Rifa and which had the same function as an offering table. The model represents a rectangular house with a portico of three columns and a staircase leading to the first floor. Two openings, a door and a window, lead into the antechamber where one finds two columns and an opening serving as the door. The terrace is divided into three compartments. On the front of the ground floor, there is an indication of offerings and of a bowl. It could be that this model took the form of the large rupestrine tombs of high dignitaries.

sirene

Funerary statue of a siren in Pentelic marble, found in the Necropolis of Ceramics at Athens. The siren laments the dead, wings folded, playing on a tortoiseshell lyre. The right hand, which would have held the plectrum, is missing. The strings, probably made of bronze, would have been attached to the holes which can be seen in the body of the instrument. The plumage and other parts would have been picked out in colour. The statue flanked the stele of the Athenian warrior Dexileo who fell in combat in 394/393 BC (Work of 370BC, National Archeological Museum, Athens).

Wooden mummy label

Wooden mummy label
During the Graeco-Roman Period bodies were regularly transported from the home to the cemetery, and, if the person died away from home, back to their village, and they were usually identified with mummy labels such as this one. The labels were made from wood or stone and often inscribed with a short text in Greek or demotic giving details such as name, age and home-town, for the poor it seems the labels replaced traditional stelae. This label has an ink d...rawing of the god Anubis, seated on a pedestal with a key around his neck and a burning torch before him.
