Pauline sent me this YouTube link https://youtu.be/qdP6Y53OJuI. Hope it's ok to repost it!
The Central Macedonia Regional Governor Apostolos Tzitzikostas at the Tomb of Kasta in Amphipolis
It shows some interesting close-ups of the sphinxes. You can see traces of red and blue paint on the sandals of the caryatid.

Thanks for this. It's one of the places we didn't get to.

Re: Amphipolis video
Pauline says they are going to restore the frieze, which contains a ziggurat, a ship, two riders, red military flags, flying victories...

Re: Amphipolis video
Because entering the monument is prohibited and i suppose this will still be in effect for the next 2 years or more ,it is for that reason i sent Alexias the video. It is a ' political ' video made by a candidate for the elections.You can see the impressive stairway of the monument from the interior side ,details from the Kariatides and parts of the mosaic ( what a beautiful face !) This tomb was majestic inside and out ! How much wealth was stolen !Jeanne Reames wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 5:25 am Thanks for this. It's one of the places we didn't get to.
Thankfully the frieze will be preserved and you can see ( you may magnify ) a "zigurat ' ( supposedly the funeral pyre for Hephaestion as theorized by professor Antonio Corso ) a ship s front , himatia colored red , riders , many weapons piled up, tripods ,a bull ready for the sacrifice ,centauries (man and woman ) a battering tower ? or a high construction ,and many winged Victories
The cleaning process will reveal more presentations
