Summary edit

Description

Facade left half, panels number 1 and 2. The subject of the composition is the descent of the dead man to Hades, attended by the god Hermes, Hermes Psycopompos or the Escort of Souls. The way is led by the god Hermes and the deceased follows, ready for his journey to the Underworld. The god Hermes turns his head and beckons to him with his right hand to follow. In his left hand he holds the characteristic winged rod, the caduceus. the dead man, who is turned to the right, is dressed in the military uniform of a Macedonian noble, but is not wearing a helmet or carrying a shield, which may indicate that he did not die fighting but perhaps after his return to his fatherland.
