Commentary
Sanzeno bowl.
Complete and restored by composing different fragments. Broken in the area of the mouth rim. Fine clay, from medium brown in colour, with a moderate temper of fine grained sand and slight argentine mica; reduction firing; burnished. In accord with the typology of the Sanzeno bowls: high neck, widely extending mouth rim, compressed body and the typical omphalos.
Circumferential decoration in form of two deep, parallel running ribbons. Below further decorations: at different positions a group of vertical comb stamps perforations at which the number and dimension are alternating. Decorations before firing.
On the bottom characters.
Find circumstances like exact find place or find year are unknown.
The dating follows the common typology related to Sanzeno bowls.
The present Sanzeno-Schale is until now unpublished. In the here available data bank about the Raetic inscriptions the bowl is the first time mentioned.
Autopsied by the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum in November 2013.
