Commentary

Images in Baserga 1931: 60, fig. 8 (photo), Bertolone 1957: tav. 34.3 (drawing), Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: tav. 28 and 29 (photos), De Marinis & Premoli Silva 1968-9: tav. 15.

Red-varnished bowl with inward-bent rim, restored from three fragments; on the inside near the rim two impressed cross-shaped marks and a pair of horses (Bertolone 1957: 59, Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 235, no. 78). Found in autumn of 1930 in one of two graves excavated in the sand pit of Mr Butti, which had already yielded tombs in previous years, together with assorted ceramic grave furniture and an iron knife blade (see Baserga 1931: 55 f. with a description of the grave). Baserga and Bertolone considered the tombs to belong to the Ca' Morta necropolis, which appears not to be the case anymore; localisation "Crotto di Lazzago" according to Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 235. Dating according to Solinas (mid-Golasecca II, with a typo "IV" for "VI") following De Marinis & Premoli Silva 1968-9: 160, no. 8.
