In the same room R7 is an even older monumental grave amphora from the Kerameikos Cemetery in Athens. The main scene shows the prothesis and mourning for the dead. Over the bier is the shroud. Men, women and a child lament with their hands on their heads, in the usual mourning gesture. This remarkable work is “Dipylon Painter”. Late Geometric Period, 760-750 B.C.
National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece.
