Found in 1985 in the course of a rescue excavation in Via Aronzo (Cascina Baraggia, the site of the scuola materna) in the centre of [[Castelletto sopra Ticino|Castelletto Ticino]], in a grave belonging to a small Golaseccan necropolis. While the majority of the graves were unprotected and dated to G I C (7<sup>th</sup> c. BC), grave 5 in the centre is a cist grave constructed of local granite slabs with a complete inventory related to a male (see {{bib|Gambari & Colonna 1988}}: 120–126), which can be dated to the second quarter of 6<sup>th</sup> c. BC (late G II A). The globular beaker with outward-bent rim and concave foot was deposited inside the urn together with the ashes and the metal objects, and was thus probably a personal objects of the deceased ({{bib|Gambari & Colonna 1988}}: 120, 126).
