Images in Poggiani Keller 1999: 179, fig. 13 (drawing = Morandi 2004: 656, fig. 25.210 = Poggiani Keller 2007: 161, fig. 154) and Morandi 2004: tav. XXVII.210 (photo = Morandi 2007: 297, fig. 295), Morandi 2007: 288, fig. 280.22 (drawing).

The inscription, possibly that of the pot's owner, is well legible. piuot is most likely the abbreviation of a Celtic personal name (see the word page).
