In the modern study of the culture of ancient Greece and Magna Graecia, a pinax (Greek: πίναξ; pl. : pinakes, πίνακες, meaning 'board') is a votive tablet of painted wood, or terracotta, marble or bronze relief that served as a votive object deposited in a sanctuary or as a memorial affixed within a burial chamber. Such pinakes feature in the classical collections of most comprehensive museums.
