Description: | A fragment of ceramic vessel of Early Medieval date. The fragment is a rim and body sherd from a small jar or cup. The fabric is a pale reddy-orange (7.5 Y/R 7/8) with sparse micaceous inclusions measuring c.0.1-0.3mm. The exterior face is decorated with a single curvilinear line, probably part of an s-shape decoration. The tip of a similar decoration directly beneath it, at lower break, is just visible. A deep circular depression is visible two-third of the way between the line decoration and the rim. Presumably this would continue into a repeating pattern surrounding the body.The sherd is 36.8mm long, 24.5mm wide, 10.3mm thick and weighs 10.5g.Diameter: 8cm (projected using rim chart)Thanks are extended to Adam Parker, Collections Facilitator at the Yorkshire Museum, for his assistance in identifying this object.
