Record status
Individual type · partial
Pipe with lobed disc bowl is held by National Museum of Romanian History. Museum description: Pipe made of reddish ceramic with a flattened, lobed disc-shaped bowl (7 lobes).
At the base of the rim it features decoration consisting of short vertically incised lines, then three parallel horizontally incised lines and one wavy line, traced with a roulette. The truncated-conical shank ends with the raised ring. Decoration of the shank starts from the base of the ring in the form of a band formed by short vertical incised lines, inscribed between 2 thin horizontal lines. The ring is rouletted.
The shank joins the bowl via a "V"-shaped decoration. The edge of the bowl and part of the rim wall are missing. The piece shows exfoliation of the outer edge of the bowl on the lobed part, as well as loss of the rim wall amounting to 90%. Traces of dirt from the soil in which they were discovered are also preserved in the decoration area. The museum record gives measurements D bowl 31 mm; D ring 25 mm; length: 56 mm.
These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
