Funerary naiskos of Aristonautes

The funerary monument takes the form of a naiskos with a statue inside it and stood near the Dipylon Gate in the Kerameikos, the cemetery of ancient Athens.

The man in the naiskos wears the armour of a hoplite and is named by an inscription on the architrave.

[1] He is Aristonautes, son of Archenautes, from the deme of Halai (Ἀριστοναύτης Ἀρχεναύτο Ἁλαιεύς).

Aristonautes stands with his legs apart, taking up the majority of the ground within the naiskos, with his right foot and face turned towards the viewer.

The rest of his body is turned to the left, giving the impression of movement.
