==Ancient Greece== Often applied as an artificial motif, it is common in ancient art. It is also found in the funeral architecture of the ancient Attic cemeteries as grave reliefs or shrines with statues, such as the stele of Aristonautes from Kerameikos in Athens and in the black-figure and red-figure pottery of ancient Greece at the Loutrophoros and the Lekythos and the red-figure wares of Apulia in Southern Italy.
