Description: | A rim sherd from an Iron Age Glastonbury Ware jar or bowl. The fabric of the sherd is quartz tempered, and fired to a dark brown. The fabric fits into the Meare Fabric Group 1 (Rouillard 1987, 183). The rim is upright, slightly everted and rounded, broken not far below the rim. Both surfaces have been smoothed to finish and the external surface is decorated with curved lines creating a swag like pattern around the circumference of the vessel. The space between and under the curves is shaded in with oblique lines. This decorative element is finished with two parallel lines underneath the swags. This form of decoration has been categorised as 'Decorative Group B - Curvilinear' and the sherd here is very similar to the illustrated examples P245 and P261 (Rouillard 1987, 211-212). Very little of the rim remains and therefore the diameter is unknown. The sherd weighs 21.78g.
