 nary study of an important but little-known ancient marble relief sculpt
 ure with vestiges of ancient painting\, which is in the David M. Robinso
 n Memorial Collection of Greek and Roman Art at the University of Missis
 sippi Museum. Mark Abbe\, assistant professor of ancient art at UGA&rsqu
 o\;s Lamar Dodd School of Art serves as designer of the project\, which

 k sculpture from the High Classical period\, ca. 450&ndash\;400 B.C.The
