Vases representative of this larger "Dipylon Style," [2] are housed in the National Archaeological Museum, Athens[3] and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.[4] Description of the Dipylon krater in New YorkThe Met's Dipylon krater is {{convert|43|in|cm}} tall and has a circumference of {{convert|25.5|in|cm}}.[4] The monumental vase is hollow, with a hole at the bottom, indicating that it was not used as a mixing bowl like regular kraters.[1] At the Dipylon Cemetery, where it was found, kraters marked the graves of men.[5] Decorations occupy the entire vase, separated into registers containing abstract motifs or figural designs in a dark-on-light style. A key-patterned meander fills the top registers, while funerary iconography sits below. The figural scenes describe two of the three parts of a proper burial: a prothesis and an ekphora.[6] A prothesis is the laying out of a body for mourning, and an ekphora is the transportation of the body to the grave. The third step in a burial would be the actual burial of the body or its ashes.[6] The prothesis scene on the Met's Dipylon Krater features standing women with triangular torsos surrounding a prostrate body underneath a checkered burial shroud.[1] The women raise their arms to their head, tearing out their hair as a sign of mourning for the deceased.[5] Abstract geometric motifs and animals fill space in between the figures in a dense style characteristic of the Late Geometric Period.[1] Underneath, the ekphora scene displays warriors with chariots and hourglass-shaped shields transporting the body in a funeral procession.[2] The horses overlap each other without clear distinctions, in a stiff profile featured across the vase. The elaborate procession, complete with soldiers and horses indicates the importance this family placed on a proper burial,[7] a value also featured in canonical Greek texts like the Iliad.[6] The similarity of this vase's iconography to that of the Dipylon Amphora, attributed to the same artist, reveals that the rituals displayed were not isolated but were part of a larger tradition of Greek funerary rites in Geometric Period Athens.[7] See also
