LXXV.12 (photo), Jacobsthal & Langsdorff 1929: Tav. 22 and 23 (photos), Crivelli 1977: 26, fig. 8 (photo) and 27, fig. 9 (drawing), De Marinis 2000: 393, fig. 30, 394, fig. 31 (photos) and 395, fig. 32 (drawing = Pernet et al. 2006: pl. sub 32.10), Tori et al. 2010: 189, fig. 3.7 and 3.8 and 193, fig. 3.9 (photos).
The bronze Schnabelkanne – one of only two from Giubiasco – of the Ticino type comes from one of the graves which were excavated by Domenico Pini without supervision; the inventory includes objects from different periods and is probably not authentic (Tori et al. 2004: 62, 64, Pernet et al. 2006: 292; the grave complex is described in Tori et al. 2004: 107 f.). On the classification of the object see Tori et al. 2010: 189, 197, 229. See also Ulrich 1914 I: 549.
The dating follows Pernet et al. 2006; cf. Motta 2000: 216, no. 29 (second half of 4th century BC). See also Jacobsthal & Langsdorff 1929: 55–58, no. 126; De Marinis 2000: 392–396.
