Fragment of the shoulder of a pot with flat rim, middle-fine clay with sandy and micaceous enclaves; inner surface reddish-brown, outer surface black. Original max. diameter 15 cm, original mouth diameter 14 cm. Found in the archaeological area of vicolo Aquila Nera, north of the Biblioteca Civica; structure 458 may be a Golasecchan house. Possibly also from the same stratigraphical context as BG·45 Bergamo. Dating based on comparison with similar objects from Como and Milano (type 39). (Casini & Motta 2018: 122–124)
