Title
A Roman pottery rim sherd from a vessel, a Samian decorated bowl dating to the mid 1st – mid 2nd century .
Description
English: A Roman pottery rim sherd from a vessel, a Samian decorated bowl dating to the mid 1st – mid 2nd century. This bowl may be Dragendorff 30 or 37; it has an upright bead rim and vertical walls. There is a glossy dark red slip on both external and internal surfaces. The slip is slightly darker on the external surface. The fabric is typically red throughout with few mica inclusions. The decoration on the bowl is moulded panel decoration and comprises a band of ovolos; with a twisted rope tongues/darts between the eggs. Below the ovolos is a twisted rope border and below that is an animal in profile advancing right, possibly a mule. The animal is enclosed within a semi-circular swagger consisting of three lines capped at each end by a bead and reel band. Similar panel decoration with semi-circular swaggers are made in Lezoux, Central Gaul 145-195AD (Webster 1996:85-86). However, the swaggers enclose birds rather than animals.

Dimensions: approximately 7.5% of the rim remaining with a radius: 85mm; weight: 56.01g.
