Description: | Two possible tesserae. A white limestone rough cube, 17.5 by 17 by 11.5mm - but rather trapezoidal and rather rough on the flatter face. A Samian ware cube c. 17 by 12 by 11mm thick (see also pottery vessel record for Samian details) which has one face worn flat (the other, still with gloss slip is slightly concave); on the edges traces of a fine-grained greyish white substance might be the remains of mortar. In association these two suggest a patterned mosaic. A third possible coarse tessera fragment of tile, 28mm by 22mmm surviving by 15mm thick, however has glaze or modern glue on one corner and edge. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
