| For the shape, cf. Perachora II, pl. 88: 1742. The filling is reminiecient of the work of the Gela Floral Kotylai, cf. Neeft, CorVPAC, 54-55. Attr. by Dr. Kees Neeft, Allard Pierson Museum, Amsterdam. It was made in all probability in a local Corinthianizing workshop. Perhaps in Sicily. János Gy. Szilágyi, Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest |
