An amazing 'relief' from Aigai
A relief scene appears and will be certainly an important milestone of Macedonian art of the late 4th c. BC.
Although the interpretation of the single figures will require a long study, the artistic language is very close to that of the royal tomb II Philip II tomb), and the quality is that of a true masterpiece

Thanks for this. I think we can guess who A and B are going to be interpreted as.
The central figure E has rather short hair for a woman. Could it be a youth?

the source
The study bears the signature of Mrs Ch. Paliadeli ,eminent archeologist mainly in the archeology of Macedonia
I confess ,when i saw the drawing i jumped ! Especially of course regarding the figure A...it looks SO MUCH LIKE ! He also seems to greeting a dead
friend .The figure E , i think is a woman holding a wreath ?
I am looking forward to read the study and the interpretation given by Mrs Ch, Paliadeli
