This is one of the finest Attic grave stele of the Classical period and an exquisite example of the so-called Rich Style. It is shaped like a small temple, crowned by a pediment with palmette akroteria. The horizontal cornice bears the name of the deceased: Hegeso, daughter of Proxenos. The Athenian lady is depicted sitting on an elegant chair, her feet resting on a footstool. She wears a chiton, a himation and a transparent headdress. She picks a jewel (which was probably painted on the stele) from the open pyxis (jewelry box), which her young servent, standing ooposite, extends. The slave wears the long-sleeved barbarian dress and a snood on her head. Traces of blue color are visible on the background. The sadness on the women΄s faces has a remarkable impact. The stele was probably executed by a skilled artist, possibly Kallimachos.
