The distinctive shape—a broad floor sloping to a central depression, deeply overhanging rim, and stout ring foot—originated in Athens at the end of the fifth century BCE. The depression in the center may have trapped juices or held a sauce. Fish plates must have been exchanged between Greece and Italy because their forms were adopted by the potters of South Italy and Sicily. Roman vase-painters adorned these wares with regional species of fish rendered in vibrant colors and with extensive use of shading. The plate made in Paestum features two striped perch, bream, a shrimp, a scallop, and an ebullient octopus, while the other, made in Apulia, displays a similar array of sea creatures.","remarks":"MED_22-T2-2_CLA.pdf – Day One Cataloguing (group chat for y1989-54, y1979-3)"}],"media":[{"id":3354,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/y1979-3","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Luna Digitization Project"},{"id":7536,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/y1979-3_1","isprimary":0,"rank":2,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Luna Digitization Project"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":"<i>Princeton University Art Museum: Handbook of the Collections </i>(Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Art Museum, 2013)","citation":"<i>Princeton University Art Museum: Handbook of the Collections </i>(Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Art Museum, 2013), p. 83","date":2013,"id":1994,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/865020505"},{"boilertext":"\"Acquisitions of the Art Museum 1979,\" <em>Record of the Art Museum, Princeton University </em>39, no. 1/2 (1980): p. 40-63.","citation":"\"Acquisitions of the Art Museum 1979,\" <em>Record of the Art Museum, Princeton University </em>39, no. 1/2 (1980): p. 40-63., p. 61","date":1980,"id":3367,"uri":"https://www.jstor.org/stable/3774628"},{"boilertext":"<i>Princeton University Art Museum: Handbook of the Collection</i> (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2007)","citation":"<i>Princeton University Art Museum: Handbook of the Collection</i> (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2007), p. 85 (illus.)","date":2007,"id":474,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/191864564"},{"boilertext":"Jane Cody, <EM>Catalogue 4: ancient vases</EM>, (Beverly Hills, CA: Summa Galleries, 1978).","citation":"Jane Cody, <EM>Catalogue 4: ancient vases</EM>, (Beverly Hills, CA: Summa Galleries, 1978)., no. 23","date":1978,"id":6969,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/690768672"},{"boilertext":"Seth D.
