Terracotta mould for making reliefs depicting a young man wearing a dotted cloak over the lower part of the body, semi-reclining on a kline (bed) of which the legs are decorated with palmettes. In front of the bed is a trapeza (small table) resting on lion’s feet, on which are placed fruit and plates with offerings (baked goods, an egg). Underneath it is a pair of shoes.
