Curator's comments
Venit: 'Rays at the bases of amphorae and oinochoai are unusual, but compare New York (Kardara, pl. 6 fig.2b and p.101 no.15), Louvre CA 3039 9ibid., p.101 fig. 66, and p.101 no.8) = Classical Camirus = Middle Wild Goat II, and Copenhagen (Kardara, p.208 no.3 and p.209 fig.179) = Mixed technique = Late Wild Goat.'
