Images in Veronesi 1990: tav. XIXg (drawing).

Unglazed patera imitating type Lamboglia 5/7 / Morel 2283, reconstructed from numerous fragments but complete, found in the ustrinum of grave 8bis (excavation 1986/1987) of the Sant'Ambrogio necropolis; see Binaghi Leva 1990: 37, 56–59 for details about graves 8 and 8bis, the finds and a description of the object p. 58 (also Volontè Fredini 1990: 71). From the same context VA·14 Arsago Seprio, VA·16 Arsago Seprio and VA·17 Arsago Seprio. Dating from Binaghi Leva 1990; Morandi 2004 gives La Tène D2.
