FootnotesIn agreement with most scholars of the Corinthian pottery, Amyx and Payne used the term kotyle, rather than skyphos, to designate the distinctive group of deep cups with no offset lip, horizontal handles set near the rim, a convex tapering body and a narrow, echinoid foot.

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.
