Description: | A body sherd of a Nene Valley Ware vessel. The fabric is quite hard, and is an off-white colour on the interior, the exterior is a yellow/white colour. The exterior surface is covered with a dark brown slip. Further decoration is added in the form of a white slip painted forming swirl. The sherd is slightly abraded. The sherd weighs 4.25g.
The sherd is probably Nene Valley Ware, suggesting the vessel is table ware, rather than used for utilitarian purposes. Dr. J. Evans (pers comm.) commented Nene Valley ware started production c. 160 and continued until the end of the 4th century. | 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: | 160
