Potsherd.
Bottom of a bowl with foot.

Outside an inscription which is to compare with NO-14.
The potsherd was found during the excavation at the Reiferfelder executed by Franz von Wieser in 1908. During this excavation von Wieser discovered several cremation graves which date from the late Hallstatt period to the beginning of the La Tène period (cp. Von Wieser 1909: 198–199). The detailed context related to the sherd however is uncertain (cp. Franz 1957: 109).
