Description |
English: A body sherd fragment from a Roman East Gaulish (Trier) samian ware mortarium Form Dragendorff 45 dating to the first half or middle of the 3rd century. This is a fragment of a Drag. 45 mortarium with a nearly upright wall and deep collar on the upper wall which has a slight overhang at the junction of the upper and lower walls. A spout is located within the collar; it is a very stylised open-mouthed lion with ears indicated by deep finger impressions which give it a bat-like appearance typical of later East Gaulish (Trier) examples. Bird (1986:183) writes "The spout is a widely distributed Trier type, which has a number of versions made from surmoulages with retouching." The spout is an applied oval boss with the pouring hole forming the open mouth. The fragment has a pink/orange fabric and is coated in a red slip on both the inside and outside which is heavily abraded with most of the slip worn away from the high points of the lion head spout.
Dimensions: length: 63.40mm; width: 53.92mm; thickness: 20.46mm; weight: 48.95g. Other Drag. 45 mortarium lion spouts on the database are <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/658329" title="View details for LON-A6D4FD">LON-A6D4FD</a>, <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/237022" title="View details for LON-187598">LON-187598</a> and <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/236753" title="View details for LON-02FE97">LON-02FE97</a>. Bird (1993:8) writes "The mortarium Dr 45, introduced at Lezoux c AD 170, continued in manufacture during the 3rd century. Later examples have a more inturned upper wall, usually without grooves, but the most distinctive feature is the applied mask added to the spout. Lezoux's snarling lion had become, by the mid-3rd century, a rather indeterminate species, its ears often indicated by deep finger impressions which give it a bat-like appearance (Fig. 2). Such late spouts are recorded from Billingsgate, Swan Lane, London Walbrook, Shadwell, Ewell and Dorchester. The St Magnus House group is illustrated in Bird 1986a, nos. 2.214-218 (no. 2.217 is the type which occurs in the 'Massenfund' : Huld- Zetsche 1971b, typ 14)." References: de la Bedoyere, G. 1988.
