Bronze rod, probably a key.

Sidewise an inscription.
According to Whatmough the object was bought in Bozen / Bolzano (cp. PID: 17); Mancini however inidcates the 5th February 1901 as exact find date (cp. LIR: 92). In all probability the object represents an old finding from Sanzeno.
Autopsied by the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum in November 2013.
