Commentary

Fragment (bottom) of a ceramic vessel; according to Whatmough probably a "pentola" or a two-handled vessel.
The fragment was found among different fragments of greek vessels. The layman survey was executed by the owner of area, Luigia dal Pozzo, in hope for several archaeological findings, and then analysed by Orsi (cp. Orsi 1890: 293). Formerly the fragment was preserved in the small museum Museo Alpino di Asiago, but already Whatmough indicates the fragment as lost (cp. PID: 30).
