Commentary

Images in Garovaglio 1879: tav. II c (drawing = Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 278, tav. VI.8a), Rhŷs 1914: pl. III (photo), Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 278, tav. VI.8b (photo = Morandi 2004: 800, tav. XXIII.160).

Originally two fragments of the bottom of a patera (Garovaglio 1879: 19 c); the smaller fragment, seen in Garovaglio's drawing on the left, is now missing (Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 189). Dating from Morandi without argumentation.
