Description: | Three fragments of Roman samian ware: two bodysherds and one scrap. The scrap is trapezoidal in form and was probably formed by a superficial break, judging by the coat on one face (L.: 9.9mm, W.: 9.5m, Th.: 2.4mm, Wt.: 0.2g). The undecorated body sherd is sub-triangular in form and curves in profile (L.: 30.1mm, W.: 22.7m, Th.: 4.15-8.2mm, Wt.: 3.4g). It has been broken such that only two coated surfaces now remain. The largest fragment is roughly quadrilateral in shape and curves very slightly in profile (L.: 35.1mm, W.: 22.75m, Th.: 7.2mm, Wt.: 6.55g). The slip largely survives, although it has become cracked on the decorated surface. This latter is moulded with undecipherable motifs including a border and a twisted rope effect. | 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: | 50
