Description: | A base sherd from a wheel-made Samian ware Roman bowl. The fabric has an oxidised mid-orange hue with dark orange colour coat. The sherd is now irregular in form, having been broken from its original circle. The lower surface features concentric rings produced during the making of the bowl. It is raised up on a stand, triangular in cross-section with rounded corners: L.: 12.9mm, Th.: 9.1 - 17.3mm. The upper surface of the fragment - the internal surface of the bowl - features a pair of grooves which would have originally formed a circle. Within the field they create is a rectangular stamp, now illegible - possibly a maker's mark. The surfaces of the sherd are worn, scratched and abraded, with losses of coating all over. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
