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 inscription.
The find date, June 1906, given by Mancini is uncertain (also Mancini indicates the find date as arguable; cp. LIR: 111). Further find circumstances like exact find place are unknown.
In accord with the typology the bowl can be dated to the 3rd–2nd centuries BC.
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). In actual fact however the latter two objects are complete extant Sanzeno bowls. In consequence of this misinformation Mancini publishes the same inscription twice: Once in accord with the the notes given by Whatmough (cp. LIR: 110, No. SA-50a) and once again with the No. SA-50b according to his autopsy of the object during a visit of the Tyrolean State Museum (cp. LIR: 111, No. SA-50b; in this context Mancini notes that "L'iscrizione sembra identica a PID 207b, ma la tazza che ho visto è intatta".) The study and autopsy by the team of the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum have shown that the potsherds with inscription published by Whatmough with the No. 207b and No. 207c are complete extant Sanzeno bowls. Therefore following concordance arises as a result: SZ-27 potsherd = PID: No. 207a = LIR: SA-58; SZ-28 bowl = PID: No. 207b = LIR: SA-50a = LIR: SA-50b; SZ-29 bowl = PID: No. 207c = LIR: SA-81 = LIR: SA-101. Cp. also the related objects in the present data bank: SZ-27 potsherd, SZ-28 bowl as well as SZ-29 bowl.
