Most notable are that the author believes this vessel is the largest and most mature style known of Sculptor A. Most likely this vessel came from Naxos and is similar in shape and proportion to 2 other stone vessels exhibited in 1965 at André Emmerich Gallery, New York (See ref. Early Art). For object related information see p. 245 and 337, Tables I, II, IV, VII, and VIII.
