Note 91: — XXIV.—MARRIAGE. (Wall-Case 53.)
Reading edition
(d) Upon the day following the marriage the relations and friends brought presents to the house (ἐπαύλια).91 The presents consisted chiefly in objects likely to be useful to the bride, such as vases, articles of toilet, spinning implements, etc. The subject was a favourite one with the Greek vase-painters, probable examples being the designs on E 188 in Case 47 and the toilet-box E 773 in Case H in the Third Vase Room. A still better instance occurs on the restored "marriage vase" E 810 in Case H in the same room.
