Description: | Cast clay pipe bowl. Post-medieval in date. Large bowl with thin walls. Spur in tact but the stem has broken off close to the bowl body showing the hole to be slightly off centre in section.
The prominence of the spur would dictate a late 18th century - 19th century date. It was during this period that decoration on the surface of clay pipes began to increase. This bowl is decorated with plant motifs along the base and the top and the sides are decorated one with a bale of corn sheaths and the other with a tree, possibly oak. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1750
