- Curator's comments
- The provenance is not given in the Register and the source of the information provided in CVA is not obvious. 'Dali' might be an elided version of 'Phoenikiais, Dali' which is stated in Walters' catalogue as the provenance of the first entry, C1, but which is thereafter given simply as 'Phoenikiais'. It is not clear if this is ignorance of the location of Yeri-Phoenikiais - which is not particularly close to Dali - or else a confusion with the rather closer juxtaposition of Dali with Alambra from which other Bronze Age items in the GR 1884,12-10 sequence seem to have derived.
For parallels for this vessel, see SCE IV/1B, fig. IX, 8.
