- Curator's comments
- The number '16' pencilled on the body may refer to a tomb number, as stated in Walters' catalogue of vases, but no tomb inventory has survived and the archival sources for the excavations preserved in the BM Department of Greece and Rome suggest that none was ever made.
For the type, see SCE IV/2, fig. IX nos 11-12. Numerous examples were found in tombs excavated by the Department of Antiquities in the modern times, the best documented of which are those from the cemetery of Skales (Karageorghis 1983).
