Description: | Small fragment / pottery sherd from the base of a highly decorated slipware, wheel thrown, shallow bowl or dish probably dating from the post medieval period (1650-1700 AD). The fabric of the pottery is relatively hard with a number of rounded and sub-angular quartz, grit, and mica inclusions. The fabric colour is a mid brown buff. The upper surface of the sherd is glazed with an intricate geometric design formed from a trailed brown slip on a yellow background. Due to the smallness of the body sherd the circumference of the dish cannot be estimated. The sherd measures 24.9mm length, 19.6mm width, 6.4m thick and weigh 2.86 grams.
