- Curator's comments
- CVA:
The Birdseed Workshop specialised in unusually large vessels of this form. Cf. GGP 67-70, nos. 17-19 for shape, size, syntax, and especially for two mannerisms of this workshop: the version of wolftooth with pendent and standing latticed triangles of equal size (there no. 17, Leiden I.98/6.18), and the double meander with this particular orientation (no. 19, Oxford 1927.4447 = GGP pl. 12e).
