Provenance
Part of original McDaniel gift of 1943. Included in a non-comprehensive list of McDaniel objects dated October 25, 1946. The accompanying label reads "small vase for first fruits (?), found during lowering of the streets in the Forum Boarium, Rome, near the center of the area where also were found two altars. Found by M. Hammond in Jan. 1939. To McDaniel Collection Oct. 1959." It is quite possible that this note has been mistakely associated with this object, particularly since it appears on the 1946 McDaniel list. Cf. Beazley and Magi, pl. 1, fig. 95. many other examples are cited here and in J. D. Beazley, Etruscan Vase Painting (Oxford 1947) p. 296.
