Commentary
Found in one of two tombs excavated in March 1879 on the road between Gravedona and Domaso, at a depth of 1.5 m (Barelli 1879b: 26–28). Said to be in the Museo Archeologico ‟Paolo Giovio” (Como) by Solinas, but according to Morandi the vase "risulta irreperibile successivamente alla scoperta". Dating ("epoca recenziore") from Morandi.
