Marble lunette with Nereid riding Triton
This relief must have been one of a series that decorated a public building or perhaps a grand funerary monument. The iconography derives from a passage in The Iliad that describes the Nereid Thetis, mother of the hero Achilles, and other Nereids carrying newly forged armor to her son.
