Description: | A Roman Samian ware rim and body sherd from a mortarium, probably East Gaulish (late 2nd - mid 3rd century). This is a fragment of a Dragendorff Form 45 mortarium with a nearly upright wall and deep collar on the upper wall which has a slight overhang at the junction of the upper and lower walls. A spout is located within the collar; it is a very stylised open-mouthed lion. The spout is formed of an applied oval boss with the circular pouring hole forming the open mouth. Incised lines around the edge of the boss depict the mane. On the internal surface of the lower wall are the titration grits that appear to consist of small quartz fragments. Dimensions: length: 118.48 mm; width: 82.18 mm; thickness: 6.76 mm; weight: 108.2g.
