Description: | Base sherd from Roman samian pottery vessel of probable East Gaulish origin. The sherd consists of part of the foot ring and a remnant of the lower body of the vessel. The shallow angle of this side suggests that that the sherd is from a bowl of probable Type 32 (see ref.). The fabric is light pinkish-orange in colour with a deep brownish-orange slip on the surfaces. The inner surface is decorated with a gadroon - a repeating design of parallel vertical incisions running in a circle around the base of the pot. The edges range from fresh to heavily abraded. The sherd measures 43.1mm in length, 26.6mm in width and 17.5mm in height. It weighs 17.38g. The projected internal diameter of the base is 120mm.
