Commentary
Images in Veronesi 1990: tav. Vd (drawing), Morandi 2004: tav. XVIII.120 (photo).
Fragment of part of the foot and bottom of probably an unglazed patera, possibly a cup, found in the ustrinum of grave 10 (excavation 1986/1987) of the Sant'Ambrogio necropolis; see Binaghi Leva 1990: 38, 46 for details about the grave and finds (also Volontè Fredini 1990: 72). From the same context VA·19 Arsago Seprio. Dating from Binaghi Leva 1990; Morandi 2001: 12, no. 5 gives the 2nd c. BC, La Tène D2 in 2004.
