Archaeology
Italian term or phrase: ingubbiatura
The term appears in the report of an archaeological dig:
"Man mano che lo scavo scendeva verso il basso, i ritrovamenti di materiali dei vari ambienti si accrescevano in quantità e qualità: un frammento di colonna di calcare con ingubbiatura e pittura a tempera con delicati disegni di uccelli"

Any help much appreciated!
