This is a high-angle, full shot of a marble funerary relief depicting a banquet scene. The relief is housed in the Varna Archaeological Museum in Varna, Bulgaria. The primary subjects are a man and a woman reclining on a couch, signifying a funerary feast. The man is on the right, propped up on his left elbow, wearing a toga. He holds a scroll or document in his right hand and appears to be speaking or addressing someone. His left arm is bent, with his hand resting on the couch. He has a beard and short, curly hair. The woman is on the left, seated with her left arm resting on her lap and her right hand raised, holding a small object, possibly a piece of food or a utensil. She wears a draped garment and a headdress. Her gaze is directed forward. In front of the couch is a small table laden with food, including fruits and loaves of bread. Attendants or servants are depicted around the table. To the left of the table, two smaller figures are visible, one holding a bowl and the other appearing to pour liquid. To the right of the table, two more figures are present; one is holding a tray with objects, and the other appears to be standing guard or observing. Above the figures, there is an inscription in ancient Greek carved into the stone, as well as decorative elements including floral motifs and a triangular pediment. The relief is set within a framed niche. The overall setting is a grave monument, indicated by the subject matter and the presence of inscriptions typical of ancient funerary art. The marble appears weathered and aged.
