Foot of a vessel with an inscription in a cartouche (sigillum) with epigraphic stamp: OF.IVCVND . The seal is surrounded by two concentric circles. Reddish clay, hard, with some vacuoles. Matt red varnish, well spread. Manufactured in the Graufesenque workshops (France). It comes from a chance find in 1997 and was located on the terraces near the church of Sant Miquel. There are specimens in the Culip shipwreck, in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula and in the conventus cluniensis (Castro Urdiales, Santa Maria del Juncal, Iuliobriga...).
