Commentary

Image in Morandi 1999: pl. X.4 (photo = Morandi 2004: 788, tav. XI.62).

Damaged olpe, painted with concentric brown circles, found in grave 79 in the locality Selvareggia; a hole in the side has been repaired with the fragments, but neck and handle are missing. Erroneously referred to as a vaso a trottola by Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 166, no. 13.
