Commentary

First published in Solinas 2016: 375 (no. 2).

Images in Solinas 2016: tav. LV c; Marchesini & Stifter 2018: fig. 4.5.2 (photo and drawing).

A group of oblique lines scratched into the bottom on the inside of the vessel (length 3.5 cm). Both Solinas and Marchesini identify sinistroverse alpha with an oblique hasta; it cannot be excluded that the criss-crossing scratches are a non-script mark.
