Dioskouroi and the river Strymon 

Inscribed votive relief, the right part of which is not preserved. On the left, Dioskouroi are standing naked. They wear chlamys, tied around their neck, and a conical pilos (hat) on their head. They hold a spear in one hand and the reins of their two horses in the other. At the bottom right, the river Strymon is reclining. Only the lower part of his body and his legs are preserved. He wears a long chiton. A tree with schematic branches is behind him. The inscription "CΤΡΥΜΟΝΑ ΚΑΙ ΧΑΡΙΤΕC ΘΗΚ [...] /ΔΟC" (votive offering to Strymon and the Charites) and a twisted snake are below the representation.
