Commentary

Images in Lattes 1904: tav. (photos = Rhŷs 1913: tav. VII).

Small lenticular flask found together with a ceramic bowl – conceivably its cover – by a farmer in a place where the landowner Augusto Curioni had found around 15 tombs some 10 years earlier; the neck is missing. Seen by Rhŷs in 1913 and 1914, the vessel could not be found in Curioni's house in Orta when Whatmough requested to see it 1923 (PID: 120). It is recorded as being in private possession by Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 175 (also Solinas).
