Description: | Pottery fragment of a finial in the form of a bird head made of black basalt ware with a dark purply-black manganese glaze and a fine buff-coloured fabric throughout.
There are similar examples of figurative bird heads on black basalt ware vessels, dating from the turn of the 18th century, like two examples illustrated in Morley-Fletcher & McIlroy (1984) on page 289, Nos.9 & 14. | 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: | 1800
