Commentary

Large terra sigillata cup type Dragendorff 31; restored from numerous fragments, only a piece of the wall missing. No stamp can be made out. The document is mentioned in Bianchetti 1895: 69 in the list of inscriptions from Ornavasso (no. 15) as being a "piatto cavo" from tomb 153 at In Persona, which contains two other inscribed terra sigillata objects (VB·12 Ornavasso, VB·13 Ornavasso), but is not included in the inventory on p. 282 f. (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. Dating according to Morandi.
