Description: | A cast lead pot mend of probable Roman date, but possibly later. The pot mend consists of a flattened, sub-circular disc with an smaller, integrally-cast, sub-circular projection on the reverse. The broader disc has been inscribed with the image of an animal, possibly a lion, with hair depicted around the head and face using linear incisions.The object was recovered from a site producing Roman material, including fragments of Samian Ware vessels. It is possible that this pot mend was used to repair such a vessel with an attempt to reproduce the decoration of the damaged area.
