Man clad in a short sleeved chiton and a mantle, standing to front within a simplified architectural frame, his arms raised in a gesture of prayer. He holds a hammer in his right hand – the symbol of his profession was added to the figure of the deceased upon the purchase of the stela and the carving of the inscription.
The three-line Greek inscription mentions both the name and profession of the deceased: Apollodoros was a bronze worker (chalceus).
Material analyses have shown that the stela was made of Egyptian limestone.
