content: Laconian marble grave relief depicting two enthroned male and female heroes receiving offerings from (far smaller) worshipers. Artist unknown; ca. 550-540 BCE. Found at Chrysapha, near Sparta; the relief was found on the side of a hill south of Chrysapha, in an area known as Pikromygdalia. It was said to be standing upright, in a tumulus-like arrangement of earth and stone. Near it was a second stone undecorated but for the word *E*R*M*A*N*O*S, denoting the place as sacred to Hermes in the Underworld. Original in the Altes Museum, Berlin.
