Commentary
Fragment of a bronze vessel.
Patina of medium to dark green in colour, partially embedded particles of ochre to brown in colour.
Seamless worked of thin sheet bronze. Cylindrical basis which passes to a wide expansive and funnel-shaped ‚mouth rim‘. For reinforcement the rim is turned up. Two rivet holes. Broken at two positions of which the crack at one position comprises the entire height of the fragment.
Here partially the narrow part broken. At one position inside along the mouth trace of a sharp-edged cut. Outside of the narrow section traces of abrasion as well as a clear ledge.
Inside along the mouth an inscription.
BZ-4 copy is a cast of this object, see there. The copy of the fragment preserved at the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum is here declared as a fragment of a bronze vessel with bull’s head handles. The identification indeed is arguable. However Egg indicates three fragments of bronze vessels between the findings of Moritzing / San Maurizio: fragment of a bronze vessel which Egg identifies as part of the mouth of a cone-shaped amphora, a fragment of a bronze vessel which belongs to the group of pots with bull’s head handles and BZ-4 fragment of which the identification is uncertain (cp. Egg 1992: 138, No. 3 and 4, 139, No. 15, 154-162, pl. 4.1, pl. 4.2, pl. 4.3).
Autopsied by TIR in April 2014.
