This work presents the finds from excavations carried out in 1984 by Metaxia Tsipopoulou and Nikos Papadakis at two LMIII chamber tombs near the village of Touloti in eastern Crete, along with seven vases discovered at the site in the 1950s and 60s. Among the vases is a stirrup jar decorated in a distinctive octopus style; Paschalidis discusses its attribution to a particular workshop and a distinct vase painter dubbed the "Xanthoudidis Master".
