Commentary
Sanzeno bowl.
Fine clay, from light brown to dark brown in colour, with a moderate temper of fine grained sand and cast gold; oxidation/reduction firing; burnished. High neck and the typical omphalos.
In the area of the belly decorations, scratched before firing: Alternating x-shape characters, which are not part of the inscription, and groups of strokes, variantly 9 or 10 strokes.
Outside on the bottom an inscrption.
The find date, June 1906, given by Mancini is uncertain (cp. LIR: 111).
Whatmough, in accord with the notes given by Conway and Von Planta, published three inscriptions on potsherds with the No. 207a, No. 207b and No. 207c (cp. PID: 21). The autopsy however has shown that the latter two objects are complete extant Sanzeno bowls. Cp. the related objects in the present data bank: SZ-27 potsherd, SZ-28 bowl as well as SZ-29 bowl.
Autopsied by the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum in November 2013.
