Unglazed patera imitating type Lamboglia 5/7 / Morel 2283, found in grave 1 (excavation 1986/1987) of the Sant'Ambrogio necropolis as part of a large amount of furniture; the burial of a female is considered to be one of the elite graves (Binaghi Leva 1990: 34, 52–54). From the same context (ustrinum) VA·26 Arsago Seprio. Dating from Binaghi Leva 1990: 52 for the grave; Morandi 2001: 12, no. 4 gives the 2nd century BC.
