Wall fragment with turn of shoulder. Glaze misfired in places. Max. dim. 0.221.

Wedding procession. At the left, the bride and groom. All that remains of her is a little bit of drapery and her left arm around his neck, resting on his shoulder, a ring on the third finger of her hand. The lower part of the groom's head and much of his himation are preserved. Next comes a woman (head with diadem, shoulders, and chest), wearing a chiton, a necklace, and an earring. She holds a torch in her right hand (now missing), and on her left forearm (also missing), a chest decorated with concentric circles (only two corners of it remain). To her left comes another woman (lower part of face, chest, raised right arm) dressed as her companion and holding a plemochoe in her right hand. Above the figures, wreath with berries. Preliminary sketch. Relief contour except for arm of right woman. Dilute glaze: eyes; lines on torch. Added clay: jewelry; berries. White: dots on diadem.

Not from the same loutrophoros as 107 (see below). In ARV1 835, 12, Beazley suggested that the wedded pair are standing in a chariot. This would explain their high position in the composition and why they overlap the ornament on the shoulder.

Manner of the Meidias Painter, perhaps an early work by the painter himself (ARV1 835, 12; not in ARV2).
