Description: | Pottery rim sherd from a bowl with a 'Cornish flanged' (Quinnell, 2004, p.124) rim. The flange below the rim is rounded and made of an added strip which has been applied to the body of the bowl. The angle of the flange is at about 90 degrees from the rim of the bowl. Above the flange is a recessed groove which helps to define it from the rim.
The fabric is is a light orangey brown colour throughout and contains mica, felspar and augite inclusions, which suggests that it is made from gabbroic clay, originating from the Lizard. The exterior surface has been black-coated and then burnished.
Romano-British, 3rd-4th century AD
Quinnell (2004) illustrates similar examples from Trethurgy on page 122, Fig.59, No.127, dated to c.AD 450-550, and on page 126, Fig.60, No.132, dated to c.AD 375-400. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
