Thanks for posting that! The representations of the marching packs are quite few and i hadn't seen this one! The yoke is clearly visible(painted in white),as is the basket to counter balance the rolled bedding. I wonder why almost all representations of the servants-save for one- are caricatures. I know of at least two vases and one sculpture where the servants with the marching kit are theatrical caricatures. Where they a typical theatrical character? I don't remember the marching pack mentioned specifically in Aristophanes,although of course slaves are always present.
