About this work

This photo shows a carved stone tomb. At the top is a faded plaque with old writing. Below it, nine robed figures stand in a line. Some hold objects like books or scrolls. The figures look serious and dressed in flowing clothes. The tomb was made for a priest named Spinelli. The figures might be Muses and the goddess Minerva. The photo was taken in the 1860s, not the original carving. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this photo and others like it.
