Bowl with S-shaped profile.
Medium-fine clay, from brown to dark brown in colour. Moderate tempered of medium-grained sand and cast gold as well as argentine mica. Compressed body, widely extending mouth rim, omphalos.
In the upper area of the shoulder a circumferential ribbon decoration. Decoration before firing.
On the bottom characters, incised after firing.
The find date, 22.05.1901, given by Mancini is uncertain (cp. LIR: 141; the information reminds of the find date of SZ-29 bowl, SZ-52 bowl, SZ-54 bowl as well as SZ-59 bowl given also by Mancini, cp. LIR: 141 [No. SA-101] resp. LIR: 132 [No. SA-81], LIR: 110 [No. SA-49], LIR: 130 [No. SA-79] and LIR: 103 [No. SA-40]). Further find circumstances like exact find place are unknown.
The dating given by Zemmer-Plank follows the common typology related to bowls with S-shaped profile (cp. Zemmer-Plank et al. 1985: 167).
Probably first published in Zemmer-Plank et al. 1985: 167, however there are neither a picture nor an archaeological drawing of the object. Related to the inventory number Mancini indicates a misinformation, in LIR: 141 (No. SA-100) the inventory number 11.945 is given. In actual fact the correct inventory number is: 11.946.
Autopsied by the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum in November 2013.
