    Many Athenian vases depict a quadriga, often in racing or military scenes, but in this case, the depicted scene is peaceful and could be linked to a wedding. The painting can be divided into two scenes: the first, on the sides, is the bridal procession, where the bride is conducted on the chariot which will bring her to the groom, accompanied by her father and relatives; the second, the lid painting, where the nuptial feast is prepared, and the conversing guests are waiting for the bride.
