 Bowl VA·31 Sesto Calende

 Bowl VA·31 Sesto Calende with inscription VA·31
|
Commentary
Deep bowl with low foot, used as cover for a funerary urn, with the remains of ash still visible. Part of the collection of the Bellini family of Somma Lombardo, which was compiled in the early 20th century, and given to the Museo Civico of Sesto Calende in 2004; see Squarzanti 2009 for an overview of its history and inventory. The exact find place of the bowl is unknown, but may be assumed to be in the general area of Somma Lombardo/Sesto Calende – the dating would fit with that of the Presualdo necropolis, whence come the two other archaic inscribed objects of the area (VA·3 Sesto Calende, VA·4 Sesto Calende).
