Relief of Demeter and Core

Relief of Demeter and Core

Relief of "fine-grained Greek marble" (Libertini), recomposed by two fragments and recently restored, damaged in the lower left and right corner. Two female figures are depicted: on the left, Demeter frontal, dressed in peplos, lifts a flap of the himation; precedes it to d. Core, dressed with a chiton and with the head covered, which extends the torch with the left hand. To the right of the figures, an object with a cavity, probably an altar of the chthonic gods. The pictures of the dedicants were perhaps in the right part, now missing. The relief is squared at the top and at the bottom by strips, on which are the inscriptions. Rather rough back (worked in stitches).
