Description: | A body sherd of a decorated samian (terra sigilata) vessel of Roman date. The raised decoration appears to be in the form of foliage, but is damaged to difficult to make out. The fabric is soft, fine and light orange in colour and tempered with sparse very fine mica (<0.5mm) suggesting east Gaulish manufacture and consequently a date of AD 120-260. There is darker orange-red slip gloss on both faces. The sherd is too small to determine the original shape of the vessel.
