Curator's comments: Venit: 'Possibly Workshop of the Islands (cf. Kardara, pp.105-109). The drawing is especially close to that on a stemmed bowl, Oxford G 117.14 (CVA Great Britain 9: pl.4 fig.15; Kardara, p.109 no.1), with which it shares the neatly articulated hindquarters of the animals and the relationship of the animals to the filling ornament.'
