Description: | A fragment of a Post Medieval Frechen, or Frechen-type, stoneware vessel. It is made from a high-fired cream fabric and is decorated on the outside with a scene depicting the beheading of Holofernes by Judith. In one panel, Judith can be seen portrayed holding the severed head of Holofernes. Her attire appears to date to the late 16th or early 17th century and the three numbers, 572, on the banner alongside her seem to be the ending of the date 1572 which is consistent. In the other panel on the vessel, the letters IVDI can be seen on a banner, being the the beginning of the word IVDITH. The whole exterior is decorated with salt glaze and an iron wash.
