Description: | Red-slip coated ceramic sherd with relief decoration on the exterior (the legs of a human figure?). Roman. Fine red fabric. Mass: 21.0 g; length: 57.0 mm; width: 60.6mm; thickness: 6.5mm. In "Roman Samian Pottery in Britain", Paul Webster (1996) notes that red-slip coated samian ware, made mainly in Gaul and Germany, was imported into Britain from the mid 1st to the mid 3rd centuries. Webster also points out that the Gaulish Samian tradition is but one branch of a widespread Roman red-slipped tradition, which did not stop with Gallic samian production, and that samian forms and fabrics were imitated by some British potteries.
