Fragmentary Athenian marble loutrophoros (ritual water jar), 400-301 BC Certain grave markers replicated ceremonial metal and pottery vessels in marble. Although missing its three handles, this example copies the loutrophoros, a type of vase used to hold water for a bride to bathe in her wedding. Due to this association with nupital rites, these marble versions commemorated girls who died before marriage. This one most likely stood over a female grave. Flamboyant displays were forbidden by law and there were restraints on lavish expenditure at funerals.
