For similar cf. E. D. Reeder, Pandora: Women in Classical Greece, Princeton, 1995, p. 63, fig. 1, with the accompanying gods identified by inscription.

Wedding scenes became increasingly popular on Attic black-figured vases from the 6th Century B.C., having first appeared almost a century before. Typically the scenes depict the chariot procession from the bride's father's house to the groom's.
