Description: | Base fragment of a Roman ceramic bowl or dish in samian (terra sigillata) ware. The fabric is pale orange with mica, sparse fine quartz sand and rounded dark red iron ore grains. Bright orange semi-vitrified slip on the inner and outer sides. Lines from wheel throwing. Part of the base and foot ring survive but too little to identify the form. Abraded breaks, 8.80 grams. The colour and presence of mica may suggest a central Gaulish centre, probably Lezoux dating from c. AD 120-200.
