caption_attribution_description: Français&#160;: Bas-relief d'un piédestal, en marbre, provenant de Mantinée en Arcadie. Il s'agissait du décor de la base d'un groupe statuaire de la trinité délienne Léto, Apollon et Artémis, ou d'un autel. La plaque présente trois des neuf muses tenant des instruments de musique et des rouleaux de parchemins. Les reliefs sont de style praxitélien et sont probablement l'œuvre d'un disciple du grand sculpteur. Milieu du IVe s. av. J.-C. Musée archéologique national, Athènes.
