Do you have details on the relief... where and when it's from, etc?

No, sorry... I don't have the details at hand but will check with my literature. It was displayed during a lecture at my university, I will have a word with the informed people about it. Smile

Anyways, this relief features a woman folding clothes to be put in a chest.

I've got three, but they're all quite small. I also have a brass graphis.

And a strigil, if anyone fancies a bit of a scrape.

I find this one dating to 490bce fairly interesting.....
It is portraying Danae and the larnax...
Acrisius on the left, the carpenter (what is he doing?) Danae and the nurse holding Perseus.
I noticed the 16 rayed symbols on the front of the larnax is this representive of the Argead line?
I like it anyway.....

The things that archaeologists are digging up lately, I would not be at all surprised to find it is a laptop......run on batteries and he is using a graphics pen...! :lol:

Greetings Travis,

Travis
Yes, I do like his books..... although tend to read historical more than hysterical stories a lot of the time..... :wink:
(Maybe I could do with more of the hysterical occasionally...... :lol: )
