Dipylon vases

In the middle of the 8th century BC, the shape of the human in the geometric era began to develop into the vase of Dipiron. These vases are very large (about 2 meters) and are used as tombstones. These vases were originally in the Kerameikos cemetery in Athens, with two towers on each side, so the word "dipylon" was used. In addition to being a serious marker, the vase can also be used as a libation container. They are drawn by rotating on wheels and assembling into pieces and then drawn in Late Geometric style. About 50 of these works are from the so-called Dipylon Master, which organized a studio for making vases between 760 and 735 BC.

Vases are covered with a typical pattern and shape series of geometric movement, but more importantly they include a funeral scene depicting humans and animals at the handle level. The most common scenes are prostheses (lying on corpses) or Ekfola (parades of dead bodies and mourners on both sides). In many expressions, the first line is used to indicate that the deceased is on the coffin where there are animals with mourners on both sides, the second line under the first line is used for tanks, horses, warriors It is used to display the 8-character shield. Made using black graphic technology, each person contains a triangle for the torso, a circle for the head, a curve part for the lines and feet for the arms. And everything provides a pretty basic outline. In order to make their appearance recognizable, each figure is also given a forward position, which can be seen by the way the lying persons are supported on their sides. In fact, when trying to express a lot of things in the design of these vases, the concept of perspective becomes a problem. The shield used to place the deceased person is represented as a pattern veil drawn on top of the plan, not on the plan, so you can see all parts. Furthermore, even if the horses are painted on each other, their feet are still on the same plane, indicating that the artist is still about to show the concept of size and relative position. Shapes are arranged to fill in the blanks in these scenes and the rest of the vase is filled with repeating design lines which are typical elements of geometric movement

A funeral. As other such bodies lie in the vase of Dipylon and the legs are clearly separated, the advice of a woman's tomb with this striking and huge sun marker should be carefully considered. Again, the vase is very expensive and no production fee will be charged for the production of sunglasses, even in the production process, even if ordered by a female husband. A bit more modest, there is a possibility that another burial "ship" is mentioned here. It is undoubtedly related to women. It is a carefully modeled two-room building in Sera's southwest cemetery. The model was filled with many miniature pots and was associated with a funeral crematories in 1982. The inscription on the end of each sidewall indicates that the object belongs to Archidike and is manufactured by Andrias (Does this name mean the sculptor "a manufacturer of andriantes"?)
