Commentary

Patera of black-varnished ware found in the area of the San Bernardo necropolis during work on the railway; broken and incomplete according to Bianchetti 1895: 188 (no. 2). Dating from Morandi. Assumed to be in the Sezione archeologica "Enrico Bianchetti" of the Museo del Paesaggio in Ornavasso, but currently untraceable.
