General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Lovely article, new GA of adequate length, well sourced and neutral. I found Alt0 to be awkward - my vote would be to use Alt1 or Alt2. If Alt1 is used, would it be appropriate to link to Cycladic frying pan? Annwfwn (talk) 00:52, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, Annwfwn. Frying pan (NAMA 4974) is a specific "frying pan" in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens; we don't currently have a generic article which discusses them as a class. That may change, but for the moment I'd be inclined not to make the link. UndercoverClassicist T·C 06:51, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
Good logic. Thanks! Annwfwn (talk) 10:08, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
