介绍（中）	纪念碑式墓碑最早出现在几何时期。它们是大花瓶，经常装饰着随葬品。只有在古代时期，石雕才被用作陪葬品。在这个宏伟的克拉特上，主要场景占据了花瓶最宽的部分，死者躺在棺材上，周围是他的家人，两边都是哀悼者。为了获得最佳清晰度，死者侧身，通常覆盖尸体的方格布被抬高并规则化为一个有两个凸起的长矩形。下面的区域展示了一队战车和步兵。这些数字可能是指死者的军事功绩。由于沙漏形盾牌和战车在这个时候的作用比青铜时代早期更为有限，这一场景更有可能唤起死者所属的光荣祖先和传统。
介绍（英）	Monumental grave markers were first introduced during the Geometric period. They were large vases, often decorated with funerary representations. It was only in the Archaic period that stone sculptures were used as funerary monuments. On this magnificent krater, the main scene occupies the widest portion of the vase and shows the deceased laid upon a bier surrounded by members of his household and, at either side, mourners. For optimal clarity, the dead man is shown on his side, and the checkered shroud that would normally cover the body has been raised and regularized into a long rectangle with two projections. The zone below shows a procession of chariots and foot soldiers. The figures may refer to the military exploits of the deceased. Because hourglass shields and chariots played a more limited role at this time than in the earlier Bronze Age, the scene more likely evokes the glorious ancestry and traditions to which the dead man belonged.
