- Curator's comments
- The findspot is not mentioned in the Register nor in the published report. Its intact condition suggests it was found in a tomb rather than in the Sanctuary itself. However, as the CEF explored cemeteries in numerous locations around the village of Kouklia it is impossibe to determine even a general findspot (Gardner et al. 1888, 264ff and plate VII).
