Marriage ceremony vessel (lebes gamikos) from Lucania. Two female heads decorate the lid. On the body of the vessel are two scenes. In one a satyr carries a wreath and a basket of gifts. In the other a woman holds a mirror and a cloth, perhaps her girdle that she would dedicate to a god before marriage. Attributed to the artist now known as the Painter of the Naples 1959 vase. Approximately 360-320 BC
