PUBLISHED:
A. D. Trendall and A. Cambitoglou, Second Supplement to the Red-Figure Vases of Apulia, Part II, London, 1992, p. 320, no. 579.

The Samarcande group was a sub-division of the vases associated with the Painter of the Macinagrossa Stand. Trendall and Cambitoglou, op. cit., p. 319, mention that "The vases in this sub-division are the work of a single painter, who has a neat and uniform style. [...]The shape is so far unparalleled: the body is that of a hydria, with the normal handle at either side; the neck and mouth are more like those of a lekythos".
