Terra sigillata cup of local production, type Dragendorff 31.

Though it is also misidentified as a "piatto cavo", the object, which is not mentioned anywhere else, is usually treated as part of the inventory of tomb 153, which contains two other inscribed terra sigillata objects ([[VB·12 Ornavasso]], [[VB·13 Ornavasso]]); cf. {{bib|Danielsson 1909}}: 31, n. 3. Dating according to Morandi.
Large terra sigillata cup type Dragendorff 31; restored from numerous fragments, only a piece of the wall missing. No stamp can be made out.

(or in any other grave inventory). No inventory number is written on the object; the current number appears to be secondary, grouping the object with the similar [[VB·13]].
