Description: | Ceramic body sherd from a large, hemispherical bowl. The surviving sherd is sub-ovular in shape and curves more acutely towards the lower part, suggesting the sherd was the area of the exterior wall near the rim where the vertical begins to curve in. The fabric is a hard fineware, dark orange in colour with a thick, glossy orange-red slip covering all faces. Central Gaulish Terra Sigillata (Samian Ware). The slip is abraded from post-depositional conditions. Decorated on the exterior face with a moulded pattern; a scrolling banner is evident at the top (indicating its position near the rim of the original bowl), and the body, hind legs, head and ears of a rabbit or hare facing left are seen below it.AD70-200Report by; Adam Parker: Collections Facilitator (Archaeology), York Museums Trust.
