The distinctive garland of the rim, with its strong diagonal emphasis, is similar to that on the following: Samos IV, no. 277, p. 116, fig. 9, pl. 57 (also on the rim of a plate); Vogeikoff 1994, p. 42, pl. 14:α (plate); H. A. Thompson 1934, p. 402 (reversible lid from the Pnyx); Kopcke 1964, pl. 46:9 (bowl-kantharos); Patsiada 1990, no. 190, p. 195, pl. 77:γ (double cruet); Watzinger 1901, no. 3, p. 68, pl. IV, at right (oinochoe).
