628. Sepulchral monument of Xanthippos. An elderly bearded figure is seated on a chair. He holds a foot in his extended right hand. Diminutive figures of a woman and a girl stand beside him. The girl is gazing at the foot, and raises her hands towards it, while the woman looks towards Xanthippos. She holds a bird in her right hand. It has been supposed that the foot is a votive offering, to commemorate a remarkable cure. Wolters, however, explains the object as a shoemaker's last (καλάπους, cf. Monumenti dell' Inst., xi. pl. 29), and interprets it as an allusion to the trade of Xanthippos. This theory hardly accounts for the gestures of the attendant figures.
Above the relief is a pediment, inscribed Ξάνθιππος. (Pl. xi., fig. 2.)
