Abstract
Marble loutrophoroi are among the most conspicuous and luxurious funerary monuments commissioned by the late Classical Athenian. Having assembled a corpus of eighty-seven extant monuments, expanding on Kokula’s 1984 monograph, this thesis undertakes a cultural and historical recontextualization of monumental marble loutrophoroi in terms of materiality, polychromy, and display context, with an emphasis on an important yet little-studied monument from ancient Attica dating to the early fourth century BCE that was acquired by the Cincinnati Art Museum in 1962.
