Ancient Greek oil flask showing a woman in a red-brown robe beside a white tomb monument with a wreath at its base.

Terracotta lekythos (oil flask)

A woman in a long red-brown robe stands at the left, reaching one hand toward a white tomb monument with a pillared top. A small wreath hangs near its base, and the black-glazed shoulder and foot frame the quiet scene.

Look closer: A small wreath hangs at the base of the tomb monument.
