Grave monument of Nikeratos and his son Polyxenos, metics from Istros on the Black Sea coast. This unique temple-like grave monument was probably influenced by the contemporary Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. An amazonomachia frieze is on the base, above which is the grave naiskos in the Ionic order. The names of the two men and a frieze (lions, bulls) are on the steps of the crepidoma. The youth, flanked by his father and a servant with himation and the (missing) utensils of the palaistra, stands in front of the back panel of Hymettian marble. The sculpture types of the youth and of the servant have clearly been influenced by the works of Lysippos. Painted architectural mouldings and traces of polychromy on the frieze are preserved. Found in Kallithea. (ca. 330 BC).
