Description
Four photographs.
The first three photographs are examples of antefixes from Greek buildings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These antefixes joined the tiles together as well as provided decoration.
The fourth photograph is a detail of the roof of the Stoa of Attalos which shows an antefix at the end of the lowest title. The lions were spouts to drain rainwater from the roof.
