The scene may symbolize the journey of the deceased to the Underworld. To the left are Hades and Persephone enthroned; at center, the standing figure may be Orpheus, and to the right, Hermes, who conducted the souls of the dead to Hades, takes the hand of a woman dressed in a chiton, with her himation (cloak) pulled over her head and around her waist. She stands in front of a cave-like opening that represents the entrance to the Underworld. Such reliefs are known to have been popular on funerary monuments at Tarentum.
