This basin illustrates the myth of the goddess Diana and the unfortunate huntsman, Actaeon. Actaeon was out hunting when he accidentally came upon Diana and her companions bathing nude in a pool. The goddess was furious and sprinkled him with water, turning him into a stag. He was then devoured by his own hunting hounds.

A large dish with a very similar border of interlocking strapwork or lines and a spirally-gadrooned well is in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, see Bernard Rackham, Catalogue of Italian Maiolica, London, 1940, Vol. I, p. 131, no. 382, where Rackham cites other pieces with similar borders. The radiating flutes painted with stems of foliage are reminiscent of a fluted basin or bowl in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, see Timothy Wilson, Maiolica, Italian Renaissance Ceramics in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2016, pp. 144-145, no. 42.
