587 may be a stand for a dinos. It compares rather favorably with such stands, yet, so far, no red-figured dinos may be attested in the Agora excavations. These are the dinos stands known to me: Würzburg 540 by the Achilles Painter (ARV2 992, 69); Ferrara 9379 = T.11 C VP by the Kleophon Painter (ARV2 1144, 11; Paralip. 456, 11; Addenda 334; Matheson, Polygnotos, p. 408, cat. no. KL 12); another, Ferrara 9380 = T.11 C VP that is contemporary, but unattributed (Alfieri, Spina, p. 63, no. 144). These have a spreading base in two degrees. I have not seen the alien stand that supports the dinos near the Boreas Painter, Bologna 330 (ARV2 540, 3).
