Description: | A large, very worn base sherd of a Roman Samian ware vessel, possibly a mortarium, coming from a vessel dating from the 1st-3rd century AD. The sherd is roughly trapezoidal in shape and very worn with only little of the shiny red slip surviving on the surface. The very worn pedestal foot/ring remains on the bottom of the sherd. The inside of the sherd is extremely worn and pitted suggesting that there used to be small pieces of quarzite grit inserted in the surface, now missing. The reverse is very worn, too, but much smoother. 67.21g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
