Hermes, holding a painted whiplash in his right hand, drives the chariot that transports the two figures. The names of the three figures are inscribed on the epistyle, above the image; Hermes, Echelos, Basile. The relief was erected on a tall inscribed poros base. The inscription on the base indicates that the relief, as well as an altar were dedicated by Kephisotodos, son of Demogenes. Ca. 410 B.C. Inventory Number: 1783.
