Description: | A pottery vessel sherd, apparently from a strap handle. The sherd has been covered overall in a burnished buff/ochre slip and has been further decorated on one side with a band of at least three lines of zigzags painted in red slip. The red slip has also been applied to the raised rim as well as a 10mm strip along the edge on the reverse. Part of a transverse strip of red paint on the side of the handle is also present.The fabric is a brick orange with many tiny black inclusions as well as larger inclusions of silicaceous material.Malcolm Lyne suggests that this is "almost certainly part of a strap handle from a red-painted Carolingian jug imported from one of a large number of small producers in N.E.France, Belgium or the Lower Rhineland. Not Pingsdorf, Badorf or Beauvais but in a fabric very similar to a piece from Pevensey (Lyne 2010,Fig.36-8). c.750-1000"
