Description: | Incomplete pottery tubular base of a finial which has broken off the crest of a roof tile.
The finial is oxidised on the outer surface to a bright orange colour and reduced to a grey colour in its core. The fabric is coarse and micaceous with feldspar, quatzite and slate inclusions, suggesting that it is made from Lostwithiel-type ware, dating from the 14th-15th century.
A similar example is illustrated in Beresford (1974) on page 137, Fig.45, No.1, which is dated to the 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
