About this 3D model

This relief was found in Ithomi, Messenia. It has the form of a naiskos. Kerakles stands on the left in front of a building rendered in perspective, leaning on his club. He is approached by a worshipper making a gesture of veneration and leading a sacrificial bull and a ram. Behind him can be seen the himation of a second worshipper. The building links the relief with the chtonic cult of Herakles as Alexikakos. There was an important sanctuary of Herakles Alexikakos in the Athenian deme of Melite (near modern Thiseion Sqaure).
