Fragmentary Athenian marble loutrophoros
myminifactory
Ancient Athenian artisans crafted intricate marble loutrophoroi (ritual water jars) between 400-301 BC, replicating ceremonial vessels in metal and pottery. This fragmentary example, despite its missing handles, faithfully copies the distinctive form of a loutrophoros, a type of vase used to provide water for a bride's wedding bath. Due to its association with nuptial rites, marble loutrophoroi like this one commemorated young women who died before marriage, often standing tall over their graves. The strict laws against flamboyant displays and lavish funeral expenditures likely influenced the creation of these understated yet elegant monuments.
