Commentary

Fragment of a situla.

No decorations visible.
On the rim an inscription.
The find circumstances are unknown but the object can be compared with other discoveries from Sanzeno.
In Franz 1959 only a transcription of the inscription (cp. Franz 1959: 228, pl. 3.7).
Autopsied by the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum in November 2013.
