Description: | A pottery body sherd, possibly of a Nene Valley ware beaker dating to the third century AD. The fabric is fine and yellow fabric and the outer surface appears to have an orange slip whilst the inner surface is dark brown and ribbed. The sherd has barbotine decoration in the form of a man wearing only a thong and possibly holding a whip. Vivien Swan has commented that the figure is likely to represent a gladiator and that gladiatorial scenes are not uncommon on Nene Valley ware beakers.
