Ordona Tomb Inventory Shield boss / Help needed!

[caiusbeerquitius]

I am looking for pics of an early shield boss from Ordona in Apulia, Italy, dates to 5th or 4th century BC. Anyone possibly have a pic or a hint to a publication? All I know is that the tomb was found in 1876 (?)
Thanks!

Hi Christian,

A quick Google brings me
this. (blinking crazy!)

Mid-January 1875, Relazione di Angelucci su scavi condotti a Ordona (Foggia): ritrovamento di un raro umbone in bronzo [A'.47]

And it's on the webpage of the Armeria Reale in Torino--

Hi Christian,
