Description
English: A young Ethiopian groom slave tries to calm a horse down. He holds a whip in his raised right hand and the reins in his left one. Funerary stele from Attica, right side of a two-panels relief. Pentelic marble, found near the Larisis railway station, date unknown (maybe 4th century BC or 1st century BC). If belonging to the later date, may have been made in hounour of king Mithridates of Pontus.
Français : Stèle funéraire attique, en marbre pentélique, trouvée près la station de chemin de fer de Larisa. Le bas-relief est constitué de deux plaques jointes. Sur le côté droit, un jeune palefrenier éthiopien esclave essaie de calmer un grand cheval portant une peau de panthère. Il tient un fouet dans sa main droite dressée et les rênes dans la main gauche. Au-dessus du cheval la forme d'un casque macédonien est visible. L'importance donnée au cheval laisse penser que le propriétaire du monument, qui avait la forme d'un naiskos, était un soldat. Il y a désaccord sur la datation : pour certains le relief date de la fin du IVe s. av. J.-C., pour d'autres, c'est une œuvre classicisante du Ier s. av. J.-C. peut-être réalisée pour honorer Mithridate du Pont.
