Commentary

Fragment of a ceramic vessel.
Outside dark grey in colour, inside beige-coloured, at the area of the fracture black grey in colour.
With characters.
Local ceramic of the 3rd-2nd centuries BC which imitates the padanian ceramic of the same time.
The current location of the object is uncertain. In Schumacher 2004: 182, the Schloss Museum Tirol is indicated, but, in all probability, the potsherd is preserved in the monument protection service of Bozen.
