Commentary
Image in Castelfranco 1879: tav. I.8 (drawing).
Black-varnished cup of reddish clay imit. type Lamboglia 28 (Morandi). In winter 1877/1878, four graves were found by farmers during building work in the grounds of the Villa del Soldo owned by the Turati family. While these four were destroyed and only some items of furniture saved, a fifth grave was excavated on 9th October 1878 by Castelfranco. It contained eight ceramic vessels, one of them inscribed, an iron knife, and assorted fragments. (Detailed description of the find circumstances and grave in Castelfranco 1879: 6-11). After Rhŷs 1913: 39 f. failed to see the vessel during his visit to the Soldo in 1912, he was informed by Count Turati that it had been removed to a different residence; Whatmough (PID: 98) was informed by letter in 1929 that it was then kept in the Turati residence in via Conservatore in Milano. Filed as untraceable by Solinas and Morandi. Dating to LT D 2 from Morandi.
