Commentary
Images in Morandi 2004: 805, tav. XXVIII.226 (photos), Morandi 2007: 302, fig. 302 (photo).
Unpainted cup of Etrusco-Padan type (Morandi 2007: 302, no. 35), found in fragments in u.s. 259. Dating from Morandi 2004 (with question mark); 2007 gives the 4th–3rd century BC, but the 4th century seems unlikely as the Brolo necropolis only dates from the 3rd century onwards.
