Stelai These tombstones were not made for or by distinguished people; they were made for everyday people by everyday workmen. We must treat them as gravestones, not as achievements of art.

Some of them pass beyond the ordinary level, and exemplify the highest artistic skill. ( Images and Ancient Sources Jan Bremmer, Princeton University Press; Reissue edition (October 1987) Warren S.
