Description

It is probably the most notable piece of the funeral equipment found in the Necropolis of the Banditaccia, and has a double representation: inside, within a motif of floral and chess meanders, an athlete, naked and with his head surrounded by a purple bandage, leans with the right hand to a rod; at its feet are two haltères (weights); in the field runs the inscription in purple red: HO PAIS KALOS (the boy is handsome). In the external frieze, on the other hand, in the open space of a gymnasium marked by the presence of a Doric column and a tree, a scene of dokimasìa, that is, the recruitment of young knights in the presence of citizens cloaked with sticks.
