Description: | Rim sherd from a small biconical bowl. Hand-made, and decorated with a band of incised decoration above the shoulder. The surviving fragment of decoration consists of a horizontal line at the top, then four oblique lines running one way and four the other to form a V shape. Early Anglo-Saxon, probably sixth century AD. The bowl originally had a rim diameter of 90 mm, which is too small for a cremation urn; it may have been domestic pottery but it is perhaps most likely, given the size of this fragment, that the vessel was a grave-good in an inhumation burial.
