Ceramic fragment.
Fragment of a Sanzeno bowl, restored by composing three sherds. Fine clay, from dark grey to black in colour, with a moderate temper of fine grained sand and cast gold; reduction firing; burnished.
Circumferential decoration in form of two deep, parallel running ribbons.
At two positions characters, inside in the area of the rim and outside on the bottom.
The find date, 1902, given by Mancini is uncertain (cp. LIR: 115). Further find circumstances unknown.
The dating follows the common typology related to Sanzeno bowls.
Whatmough notes that Conway sees this and other sherds from Sanzeno in March 1908 and von Planta in October 1924; Whatmough indicates the sherd as unpublished and mentions only Sanzeno as find place (cp. PID: 21). In total Whatmough publishes three inscriptions on potsherds with the No. 207a, No. 207b and No. 207c (cp. PID: 21). However the study and autopsy by the team of the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum have shown that the the latter two objects are complete extant Sanzeno bowls. Therefore following concordance arises as a result: SZ-27 potsherd = PID: No. 207a = LIR: SA-58; SZ-28 bowl = PID: No. 207b = LIR: SA-50a = LIR: SA-50b; SZ-29 bowl = PID: No. 207c = LIR: SA-81 = LIR: SA-101. Cp. also the related objects in the present data bank: SZ-27 potsherd, SZ-28 bowl as well as SZ-29 bowl.
Franz also mentions the potsherd but without given an inventory number or other information. His study regards only the inscription and the analogy to SZ-79 (cp. Franz 1959: 228 [below No. 2]).
Autopsied by the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum in November 2013.
