Ceramic plate, broken into multiple fragments, but complete and reassembled. Found in 2006 in tomb 2 of the late Iron-age and early Roman necropolis of Piasa, together with one iron and three bronze fibulae, an iron knife, assorted ceramics (one pot, one bowl, one beaker, one vaso a trottola, and one cup filled with fibulae and bearing a single character on the foot), and burned human and animal bones and ashes, which were also in the plate and the bowl. The tomb appears to have been reused already in pre-Roman times, as the rectangular cist (40 × 25 cm), built of stone slabs of a type which belongs to the last pre-Roman phase of the necropolis, is set into the round pit of an earlier burial representing the oldest layer (see Cardani Vergani & Mosetti 2007: 175).
