Roman Tombstone
This is a limestone funerary stele attributed to Kom Abu Billu, Egypt. It dates to the 3rd or 4th century. It is carved in sunken relief, combining a mixture of Greco-Roman iconography (the reclining figure holding a bowl) with traditionally Egyptian iconography (the image of Anubis).
