From the Getty Museum record
This fragment belongs to a collection of thirty-nine non-joining pieces of a large relief monument that once depicted a male figure leaning on a wineskin and reclining on a kline (couch) padded with a thick cushion and pillow (see 81.AA.193; 81.AA.194.2-27; 82.AA.123.1-4; 85.AA.419.1-5; 86.AA.545.1-3). The scale of the Getty reclining figure is life-size and so was part of a substantial relief depicting a symposiast. The original position of this small, irregular fragment in the relief is uncertain.
