An almost identical vase with a "master of horses" figure and shallow dish is currently in the National Etruscan Museum, and a similar footed bowl is in the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MS763). It too has a human figure standing between two horses on the rim. Both are from Narce, and it appears that 'the Faliscan workshop of these bowls seems never to have made two alike' (J. MacIntosh Turfa, Catalogue of the Etruscan Gallery of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Philadelphia, 2005, p. 123).
