介绍（中）	假肢（放置尸体）；下面是骑手在脖子上，哀悼者 Loutroporoi被用来为新娘沐浴和某些葬礼取水。这个花瓶可能被用于坟墓的仪式，因为它没有底部，所以倒入其中的祭品可以到达地下的死者手中。它被埋葬前的仪式场景所装饰。在花瓶的肩膀上，一个死去的年轻人躺在高高的沙发上，周围都是悲伤的女人——他的亲戚，也许还有专业的哀悼者。他们的头发被剪短，以示哀悼，并做出传统的哀悼手势。他们张开的嘴表明他们在唱葬礼歌曲。在游行队伍的两边，人们高举右臂，张开嘴巴，也在哀悼。下面，骑手们用手臂做着类似的手势。在脖子上方，是另一群哀悼的妇女，其中一人拿着一个流浪汉。
介绍（英）	Prothesis (laying out of the dead); below, horsemen On the neck, mourners Loutrophoroi were used to fetch water for the bridal bath and for certain funerary rites. This vase may have been used in rituals at the grave, for it was made with no bottom so that offerings poured into it could reach the dead under ground. It is decorated with scenes of the ceremonies that preceded burial. On the shoulder of the vase, a dead youth lies on a high couch, surrounded by grieving women–his relatives and perhaps professional mourners. Their hair has been cut short as a sign of mourning, and they make the traditional gestures of lamentation. Their open mouths indicate that they are singing a funeral song. On either side, men walk in procession with their right arms raised and their mouths open, also in funeral lament. Below, horsemen similarly gesture with their arms. Above, on the neck, is another group of mourning women, one holding a loutrophoros.
