Description: | A sherd of wheel thrown decorated Roman Samian ware, dating to the period c AD 43-260. The sherd is a fragment from the body of a vessel such as a bowl. The sherd is decorated in raised relief, depicting a water bird, maybe a goose or swan facing right towards a possible arched canopy of reeds or curved brick, with a possible palm tree between the bird and the arch. Above all is a panel of overlapping, semi-circular mouldings. The fabric is hard and fine with a dark pinkish-red hue, and a glossy brownish-red slip, which suggests a Southern Gaul origin.
