DEV-6962A6 Roman pottery |

| Description |
English: Roman pottery sherd of Samian ware. The sherd is decorated on the exterior with a compound-stalked scroll, which can be recognised as type b, form 37 (two stalks diverging from a common stalk, branching alternately above and below the parent stem, terminating in a leaf: see reference below for details). On this example, it is possible to see the end of three points of the leaf, and two of the stalks. Below the scroll two circlets are visible above a line; the circlets would have run at regular intervals around the circumference of the vessel. The deep orange slip is still visible on both the exterior and interior of the vessel sherd. The fabric is mid orange in colour. The sherd is quite thick indicating that the original vessel may have been quite substantial.
Examples of the compound stalked-scroll type b motif are frequently used throughout the Flavian period (69 - 96 AD), and this design continues in use up to the Antonine period (138- 192 AD). A fragment of this type of scroll was found in Vienna with the makers mark CINNAMI (see reference for details).
