Object Description

A fine Roman redware shallow bowl featuring a flat raised base. The sides rise up and slightly curve in towards the rim. The smooth outer and inner walls present faint ridges, showing how the clay was worked during the wheel-production process. The centre is decorated with an incised dot encompassed by a thin band. Five leaves, equally spaced, extend outwards and are framed by a band of diagonal lines. A further two concentric circles follow, ending with another band of diagonal lines facing the other direction.

Date: Circa 3rd-5th century AD
