Stele of Aristion

At the top of the base is an inscription, giving the name of the deceased in the genitive: Ἀριστίονος "Aristion's".

The rest of the statue was also extensively decorated with paint—traces of red, yellow, and blue paint still survive.

In the empty space under his feet there is a horizontal inscribed band, which names the sculptor of the stele: ἔργον Ἀριστοκλέος "Work of Aristokles".

The Stele of Aristion was originally decorated with painted designs: meanders, zig-zags, along with a star on his shoulder.

[5] There are also remnants of red pigment located on the ground of the relief, on the end of the shoulder strap, and on the drapery.
