The “Pitsa Panel” is a 540 BC Ancient Greek painting on wood. It depicts a procession of people with offerings, possibly a funerary scene. The figures are painted in a simplified style, typical of archaic Greek painting, with strong outlines and flat colors. The panel is now housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece. It offers insight into ancient Greek religious practices and artistic techniques.
