Commentary

Sanzeno bowl.
Fine clay, from brown to grey in colour; outside and inside at the bottom blackened by fire. Moderate tempered of fine grained sand and cast gold; reduction firing; burnished. High neck and the typical omphalos. In the neck area restored.
Between neck and belly decoration in form of two parallel, circumferential ribbons. Below further decorations: at four positions a group of strokes at which the number of strokes is alternating between 11 and 20 strokes. Decorations before firing.
On the transition from the belly to the bottom as well as on the bottom, in total at four positions characters at which the script-character is uncertain (cp. SZ-54).
The find date, 22.05.1901, given by Mancini is uncertain (cp. LIR: 130; the information reminds of the find date of SZ-29 bowl, SZ-52 bowl, SZ-59 bowl, SZ-60 bowl, SZ-61 bowl as well as SZ-83 bowl given also by Mancini, cp. LIR: 141 [No. SA-101] resp. LIR: 132 [No. SA-81], LIR: 110 [No. SA-49], LIR: 103 [No. SA-40], LIR: 106 [No. SA-43], LIR: 113 [No. SA-53] and LIR: 141 [No. SA-100]). 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.
Probably first published in IR: 277–278, No. 53.
Autopsied by the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum in November 2013.
