Commentary

Images in Ulrich 1914 II: Taf. LXXI.2 (photo), Tori et al. 2010: pl. sub 91.5 (drawing).

The fiasca a trottola (type 2, decorated with concentric lines) comes from one of the graves which were excavated by Domenico Pini without supervision; the inventory includes objects from different periods and is probably not authentic (Tori et al. 2004: 62, 64, Tori et al. 2010: 274; the grave complex is described in Tori et al. 2004: 138). On the classification of the object see Tori et al. 2010: 215 f., 241, cat. 175. See also Ulrich 1914 I: 571.

The dating follows Tori et al. 2010.
