Description: | Body sherd form a Roman Samian bowl of Form 37. The sherd is part of the lower wall and base with the carination between side and base visible on the inner side. It is decorated with a series of panels of varied shaped and size separated by beaded borders with a pellet in ring at the joints. Of the surviving or part surviving panels: one contains an urn, one Pan or possibly a satyr playing a pipe with an unidentified object at his feet, one holds two plain rings side by side and two contain large double rings. The latter two are very incomplete and the rings may have contained a further design. The fragment is c.110mm long and weighs 44 grams.The well spaced decoration with panels of varying height divided by pellet borders suggest Central Gaulish production of the mid-Antonine period, probably at Lezoux, c.AD 145-170. Without a visible stamp or access to more specialist studies it is not possibly to more precisely identify the potter.
