Note 588 — Chapter IV · Egypt

The ware has often been called Rhodian and more recently (Kinch, Vroulia, passim) Camirian. Rhodes has produced far the most specimens, but probably only because tomb-robbing has been particularly prevalent in the island. Rhodian provenance is maintained by Poulsen (Orient u. frühgr. Kunst, p. 91), but on dangerous stylistic grounds. His treatment of the Russian finds is particularly unconvincing. All the same Perrot does well (Hist. de l’Art, IX. pp. 390, n. 2, 403 f.) to remind us that the Milesian attribution is not a certainty.
