Description: | A large rim sherd of an undecorated Samian Ware conical cup of Form 33. The fabric is a much more pinkish colour with a ??soapy texture?? which is smooth to the touch and the slip is light brownish/red. The rim is rounded, the walls are straight-sided and taper in towards the base. There is a groove below the rim and another on the body. This vessel would have had a diameter of approximately 120mm and it weighsc 29.2g. The sherds are relatively un-worn but the breaks look worn and slightly abraded. Much of the vessels original surface has been lost.
The cup dates to the mid-late second century. Parallels are known from excavations at Fishbourne (Cunliffe, 1971, pp227-8, Fig. 109, No. 260). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
