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 with a palm tree with diagonal faceted lines (more tree trunks?) to the right of the tree. To the left of the tree are two solid curving vertical lines. Above these features is a horizontal facted line with possible sexfoil above. The fabric of this sherd is hard and firm with occasional mica inclusions (naked eye observations) with a matt reddish-brown slip. This is either a Central or Southern Gaulish fabric.
