A girl with a pyxis stands on the left behind the throne.

The marriage is celebrated here in a pyxis attributed to the Meleager Painter.

All except the pyxis are decorated with painted figures, and contain flowers.

In one—the pyxis—the plastron is furnished with a transverse hinge, so that the animal can retract its head and fore-limbs within the carapace, and close the plastron upon it, first shutting them in.
