![A painting by Kinch's friend Oscar Willerup, published by Kinch in 1920, of the interior of a tomb at Naousa ("Kinch's tomb") depicting a Macedonian cavalryman wielding a spear (perhaps a sarissa or a xyston?). The opponent might be a Persian. Kinch dated the painting to around 325-300 BCE. Kinch found the tomb in his travels in 1883-1895; the original painting was later destroyed, so Kinch's recreation is all that remains.[3]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Naousa_Tomb_painting%2C_K._F._Kinch.png/1280px-Naousa_Tomb_painting%2C_K._F._Kinch.png)
