Description: | Body sherd of a Samian ware vessel with raised decoration. The Samian is probably a Central Gaulish type of late 1st to early 2nd century and the curve of the sherd suggests it belows to an open vessel such as a bowl. It is decorated with a fine dark orange slip and the fabric is mid orange. The decoration consits of plain and beaded lines and part of an animal, possible a lion. The decoration was formed by throwing the vessel on a wheel into a decorated mould.
The fragment is 28.5mm long, 27.9mm wide, 6.3mm thick and weighs 6.16 grams. Some of the breaks are fresh while others show some smoothing. | Subjects: | Serving | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
