Commentary
Ceramic fragment.
Fragment of a Sanzeno bowl. Fine clay, from dark brown to black in colour, with a moderate temper of fine grained sand and argentine mica; reduction firing; burnished. At the rim broken.
Circumferential decoration in form of two deep, parallel running ribbons. Below further decorations: at different positions a group of vertical striae. Decorations before firing.
On the bottom a hardly determinable character.
Information about find circumstances like exact find place or find date are unknown.
In accord with the typology the potsherd can be dated to the 3rd–2nd centuries BC.
The present Sanzeno-Schale is until now unpublished. In the here available data bank about the Raetic inscriptions the ceramic fragment is the first time mentioned.
Autopsied by the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum in November 2013.
