Commentary
Images in Tizzoni 1985: tav. 26 f, Solinas 1995: tav. LXVI a (photo), Morandi 2004: 679, fig. 27.247 (drawing).
Inscribed upright on the bottom of the olla, damaged by breaks and surface abrasion, but neither Solinas nor Morandi indicate uncertainties about the reading. pisa can be interpreted as a personal name (see the word page).
