Commentary
Bottom of a bowl with omphalos, probably Sanzeno type.
Fine clay from brown to black in colour, with a moderate temper of fine grained sand and cast gold.
Stamped decoration in the area of the fracture visible.
Characters in the centre of the omphalos and at two positions around the omphalos.
The fragment is until now unpublished. In the here available data bank about the raetic inscriptions the potsherd is the first time mentioned. Autopsied by TIR in November 2013.
