Funerary naiskos of Demetria and Pamphile

It is made of white marble and now kept at the Kerameikos Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece, with inventory number P687, while a modern plaster copy of it is found on the ancient site of the tomb.

[2] This is the second funerary stele made for this family, as an earlier one has also been discovered, which was produced for Demetria when she died, some twenty to thirty years before Pamphile.

[1][3] The naiskos was discovered in 1870 at the western end of the south road,[4] and remained in situ for over a century until its eventual removal around April 2003, where it was transferred to the Archaeological Museum of Kerameikos in order to protect it from corrosion and natural wear due to exposure.

[1] By the fourth century BC, women had more prominent role in grave relief imagery, and occasionally would appear singly without men.

[2][3] Both women are dressed richly with long, folding chitons and himatia that cover their heads,[4] starring blankly at the viewer now that they are both dead.
