Description: | A base and wall fragment of a Medieval vessel. Drag marks on the internal and external surfaces show it has been wheel thrown. The base is slightly inverted towards the centre. The wall is gently curved from the base suggesting the vessel was a large globlar pot. There is some moulded decoration on the external walls. A raised arch has been moulded just above the base. Inside are four incised line that follow the arch shape. Within these is futher incised curved lines potentially the head and upper body of a figure. These is further moulded decoration at the top of the fragment, a raised straight band, however too little remains to destinguish the pattern.There is the remains of a green glaze on the external surface, which would have covered the entire external wall and rim. The fabric is cream brown to grey in colour and has been slipped on the outside with a light cream brown and on the inside with a dark brown. The fabric is coarse with frequent poorly sorted small to large quartz inclusions.There is some iron staining on the inside of the vessel suggesting some contact with an iron object post-deposition.The fabric and form of the vessel suggest a Medieval date, probably 12th to 14th century.
