Description: | An incomplete ceramic flagon of thirteenth century date. Length 125mm, maximum diameter 150mm. Weight 556g.
The vessel is globular in form and has a narrow broken flanged neck. The flange has a diameter of 41mm. Below the neck, are two circumferential circles of ?stamped beadlets enclosing a plain zone. The upper part of the body is decorated with twenty eight deep vertical flutes and the underside of the body is plain. A substantial foot-ring has a maximum diameter of 70mm. Within the foot-ring, the base is convex.
Most of the surface is burnished black. However, where this burnishing has not survived the surface is grey. Breaks on the neck and foot-ring reveal a coarse reddish core. A white deposit on parts of the body, foot-ring and base is probably calcium carbonate. | 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: | 1200
