Summary

edit
Description
English: Eagle from a grave monument. The eagle with outspread wings turns its head towards a partly preserved snake rearing up threateningly. The right wing of the eagle and the upper part of the snake were separately attached. The motif is a known omen; hence the sculpture probably derives from the grave of a seer. End of the 4th century B.C. Accession number: 4642. Archaeological Museum of Piraeus. Piraeus, Greece. Text: Museum inscription.
