Description: | A Roman pottery rim and body sherd from a Samian mortarium, probably East Gaulish (late 2nd ?? mid 3rd century). This is a fragment of a Dragendorff Form 45 mortarium with a nearly upright wall and deep collar on the upper wall which has a slight overhang at the junction of the upper and lower walls. A spout is located within the collar; it is a very stylised open-mouthed lion. The spout is an applied oval boss with the pouring hole forming the open mouth. Incised lines around the boss depict the mane. The collar is bounded by a groove along the lower edge. On the internal surface of the lower wall are the titration grits still covered in slip which suggests that this mortarium has not been used.
