Description: | An incomplete, possibly Post Medieval or Modern earthenware bowl. The bowl is probably a foreign import. It is made from a buff-red earthenware fabric of moderate firing, which has failed to oxidise in the centre. The bowl has been slipped with a white ground on the interior and exterior. The interior is decorated with a stylised bird added in a blue on top along with a border of two parallel lines, set slightly beneath the rim. The top edge of the rim itself has been slipped with an ochre colour. Both surfaces of the bowl have been burnished using a hard object like a bone or stone. The base of the bowl exterior has traces of sooting, and there is further sooting near the rim at one point on the exterior. This may be of Middle Eastern or South American origin.Dimensions: rim radius: 75mm; approximate 48% of the rim is remaining; weight: 159.41g.
