Funerary naiskos of Aristonautes, Ancient marble statue in National Archaeological Museum of Athens, Greece.
The funerary naiskos of Aristonautes presents a warrior figure in combat position, wearing a hoplite armor with a breastplate and helmet inside a temple structure.
Created around 320 BC, this monument stood near the Dipylon Gate in Kerameikos, the cemetery of ancient Athens, marking the grave of Aristonautes, son of Archenautes.
The statue demonstrates the ancient Greek tradition of commemorating the deceased through elaborate marble monuments that displayed their status and military prowess.
The monument measures 248 centimeters in height and 155 centimeters in width, with several reconstructed sections including the back, right pilaster, and portions of legs.
The figure takes an unusual stance with legs apart, right foot forward, face turned to viewers while body oriented left, representing a transitional period between classical and Hellenistic art.
