Funerary stele with depiction of loutrophoros

The stele, a Greek original of the mid -4th c. BC, depicts a large, tall-necked vase (loutrophoros). On the body of the vessel are three male figures: a bearded man wearing a cloak (himation) and leaning on a staff, overpainted in antiquity: a younger man wearing a tunic and cloak: and finally a servant, ona smaller scale. The names of the two main figures are carved above the scene in Greek letters: Euboulos and Euboulides, identifies on the basis of epigraphical sources as memebers of an important family from Attica. The loutrophoros, used in Greece for wedding rituals, probably alludes to Euboulos premature death before his marriage.这件公元前4世纪中期的希腊原刻石碑（Stele），描绘了一件大型高颈陶瓶——双联陶瓶（loutrophoros）。瓶身之上共有三名男性形象：其一为留须老者，身披希顿外袍（himation）并倚杖，其纹饰曾在古代被重绘；其二为身着短衫与外袍的年轻男子；最后则是体型更小的仆从。场景上方以希腊字母刻有两名主形象的姓名：欧布洛斯（Euboulos）与欧布洛利德斯（Euboulides），据碑铭文献资料考证，二人属于阿提卡地区的名门望族。双联陶瓶（loutrophoros）在古希腊用于婚礼仪式，此器或暗喻欧布洛斯在成婚之前便英年早逝。
