Description |
English: A body sherd fragment from a Roman central Gaulish samian ware hemispherical bowl, from Lezoux. Form Dragendorff 37 dating to Trajan-Antonine period AD 98-192. The sherd has moulded decoration, consisting of a standing figure left of Victory holding a wreath in her right hand and a palm in her left all within a medallion. Similar depictions of Victories can be seen in Oswald (1937, fig 809). The fragment has a pink fabric and is coated in a red slip on both the inside and outside which is abraded with most of the slip worn away from the high points of the moulded decoration.
Dimensions: length: 77.73mm; width: 45.46mm; thickness: 8.55mm; weight: 28.66g. Similar Drag. form 37 dish on the database are LON-32885E, WAW-F9D786 and LON-97317F. Oswald & Pryce (1920:95-96) write "The essential characteristics of this form consist of the hemispherical contour, the plain band beneath the lip (a half-round moulding), and a relatively flat foot-stand." he continues " Appearing first of all in the reign of Nero (Ritterling, Hofheim, p. 231), it rapidly achieved popularity and became the predominant decorated bowl of the second century. Furthermore, it continued to be manufactured right down to the close of the period of decorated Terra Sigillata (Oelmann, p. 25). This late date of its production applies, however, more particularly to the East Gaulish potteries. At Lezoux it would appear to have been extensively superseded towards the end of the second century and the beginning of the third century by applique ware (Dechelette, ii. 167)."
