Commentary

Fragment (complete foot and small sections of the bottom) of an open vessel found in the inhumation grave no. 143 of the In Persona necropolis (see Bianchetti 1895: 278 f. with the grave inventory). Bianchetti, who had more fragments than are preserved today, called the vessel a "piatto [...] rotto in molti pezzi", but the high foot (1 cm) seems to indicate a cup similar to VB·13 Ornavasso. Dating from Morandi.
