Description: | A sherd of a medieval pottery vessel. The sherd is from a handle, and is broken at the top and bottom. The sides of the handle taper. The handle is curved in profile, with a convex front and a concave reverse. The sherd is 38.5mm long, 43.1mm wide, and 11.5mm thick. These are maximum dimensions. There is a median channel running down the front of the handle, which is decorated with a line of impressed marks. There is a further line of impressed marks to either side of the channel. The front of the handle is coated in a green/yellow glaze. The surface of the revese is less clear due to the presence of soil from its time in the ground. The fabric is cream and light brown in colour, with common, well sorted medium to course sub-rounded inclusions, probably largely sand. The sherd is medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
