Description: | One sherd of Gallo-Belgic Eggshell Terra Nigra (or similar).
A hard fired, clean fabric, with fine polished surfaces. The sherd is a section of rim and wall of a small flanged vessel (a small hemispherical cup or similar), with a flange at mid-riff and plain rim.
Gallo Belgic Eggshell Terra Nigra is imported from Gaul in the first century (circa 43-70 AD), with later (usually cruder) imitations produced into the early second century. This sherd is of fine quality, and is almost certainly not a later imitation. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crump, Barry - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
