Images in Casini & Motta 2018: 123, fig. 4.10 (photo and drawing).

Fragment of the shoulder of an oval pot with thickened rim, middle-fine clay with sandy and micaceous enclaves; both outer and inner surface black. Original max. diameter 15.4 cm, original mouth diameter 12 cm. Found in the archaeological area of vicolo Aquila Nera, north of the Biblioteca Civica, south sector, area C, u.s. 458; structure 458 may be a Golasecchan house. Cf. BG·44 Bergamo, possibly from the same stratigraphical context. The rough dating is based on comparison with similar objects from Como. (Casini & Motta 2018: 124)
