The statue and base inscription were found separately; the former being found in excavation in modern day Merenda (ancient Myrrhinus) and the latter being found in a church in Merenda. The statue is of a young woman wearing a decorated peplos (πέπλος) and shoes, a floral headpiece, a necklace and bracelet. In her left hand, she holds a lotus bud while her right hand is hanging by the side of her body holding her peplos. She stands at 1.79 meters (5.87 feet) without the base (standing 2.115 meters – 6.93 feet – with the base). The statue was originally painted with the peplos being red. According to the inscription, the statue and grave were for Phrasikleia. The inscription was difficult to read because a majority of the letters on both inscriptions has been damaged. However, once removed from the church, the letters were able to be reconstructed. The inscription mentions that Phrasikleia was unmarried but unusually does not mention a father or brother’s name, leaving her name as the only identifier for the grave. The inscription on the right side of the base reveals Aristion of Paros as the sculptor of this grave marker.
