Description: | Fragment of a pottery finial from a crested roof tile. The pointed crest is triangular in profile and section and is decorated with impressed oblique lines which are also functional in allowing the clay to release air during firing. The fabric is a light brown to orange colour throughout with felspar and mica inclusions, suggesting that it is likely a Lostwithiel-type ware.
Similar roof tiles have been found at Medieval sites like Tintagel Island (Raleigh Radford 1933-38 excavations, Tintagel Catalogue No.1, 1988, Box.23) and are generally dated from the 13th to the 15th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
