Moved to mainspace by UndercoverClassicist (talk). Self-nominated at 13:23, 26 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Aineta aryballos; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

New enough, long enough, hook is interesting, article is really well-sourced and researched! I prefer the first hook, ALT1 is not that interesting and as non-specialist I have no idea whether price of 25 drachmae was that cheap at that time for that fact to be notable. QPQ done, so good to go! Artem.G (talk) 13:47, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
