Commentary

Foot of a ceramic vessel with omphalos.
Medium-fine clay from dark grey to red brown in colour, on the bottom black in colour, with a moderate temper of fine grained sand and cast gold; the sherd indicates an oxidation/reduction firing.
Inside an inscription.
Probably published in IR: 284 for the first time at which however the inscription took the focal point.
