Description: | A rectangular sherd of samian ware from a Roman ceramic table vessel. It is decorated with a 'hare' motif, within a circular double-beaded panel. The entire vessel would have featured a number of related designs.
The sherd measures 39.5mm high, 35.3mm wide, and 7.3mm thick. It weighs 11.8g.
Samian is a relatively common fineware dating to the first century AD, easily identifiable by its red slip. It was a continental import, used for tablewares such as bowls and jugs, and examples frequently bear intricate moulded designs. | Subjects: | Samian | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
