Description: | A large sherd of Roman Samian ware. The sherd appears to be an import from Central Gaul, dating from the late 1st - 2nd century. The rim sherd is from a DR37 type bowl. Part of the moulded design can still be seen near to the break on the lower part of the sherd. A row of double bordered ovolo with 'tongues centrally placed' can still be seen (only three complete ovolo's survive). Each tongue terminates with a small rosette, their axis being vertical. Below the ovolo there is a pelleted boarder. The design below this is unclear. The sherd weighs: 20g.
