Description: | A body sherd of Roman samian ware dating AD 43-410. The fabric is light pinkish-orange in colour and has no visible inclusions. The slip is a dark reddish-brown. The outer face has a foliate decoration consisting of three lotus leaves and five stems, which curve beneath the flowers. There has been some abrasion on both sides so that the slip is no longer completely covering the object. It is impossible to tell the type of vessel this sherd came from and therefore difficult to give it a precise date.Dimensions: length: 58.49 mm; width: 39.04 mm; thickness: 4.98 mm; weight: 11.81g.
